Are you an assistant teacher, lead teacher, or family home licensee that needs the initial certificate for your early learning role? If so, the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) would like to invite you to help shape the community-based training model by participating in a shortened pilot that is happening May through June 2021.
|
The Community-Based Training Model (CBM) will provide a training pathway for early learning providers required to have an initial or short certificate through the licensing staff qualifications requirement.
DCYF is currently looking for pilot participants who will provide honest feedback about the content and experience in order to make this new training pathway a great option for all.
Could this be you?
