ECEPTS RECEIVES APPROVAL FOR ECE NATIONAL GUIDELINES STANDARDS! ECEPTS is pleased to announce that, as of December 23, 2024, the Administrator of the Office of Apprenticeship (OA) approved National Guidelines for Apprenticeship Standards (NGS) submitted by Early Care & Education Pathways to Success (ECEPTS) for six occupations: - Early Care & Education Associate Teacher - Early Care & Education Teacher - Early Care & Education Lead Teacher - Early Care & Education Infant and Toddler Teacher - Expanded Learning Program Leader - Home Visitor National Guidelines for Apprenticeship Standards are a template of high-quality apprenticeship program standards submitted, in this case, by an apprenticeship sponsor and intermediary with national scope. Certification of the ECEPTS NGS by OA confirms that the program standards: - Have been deemed suitable for adoption or adaptation by State or local affiliates of the submitting organization, and - Fully satisfy the regulatory requirements set forth at 29 CFR Parts 29 and 30 and any sub-regulatory guidance issued thereunder. Having received OA certification, ECEPTS NGS may be registered on a local basis by the applicable Registration Agency (e.g., OA or SAA) within a particular State or jurisdiction where a program adopting the NGS is situated. A local affiliate or sponsoring employer that adopts ECEPTS NGS may elect to implement those program standards without modification in registering the program on the State or local level, or it may customize the NGS to meet State-specific criteria. ? ECEPTS standards are research-based and designed to equip aspiring early educators for success. We are proud of having achieved this milestone and hope that the ECEPTS NGS will facilitate the development and expansion of ECE Apprenticeships nationwide.

Our session - Registered Apprenticeship 101: Learning from ECE Models - was enthusiastically received at the National AACTE Conference yesterday! Increasingly, folks hoping to utilize apprenticeship as a strategy to build, expand and diversify the PK-12 teacher workforce are looking to ECE RA leaders to guide and support their efforts. The presentation team reflected a strong and ongoing association between ECEPTS, EDvance College (Lygia Stebbing) and Learning Policy Institute (Hanna Melnick).

The ECEPTS Apprenticeship Boot Camp in Connecticut last week was a significant step toward launching a 12-program, statewide network of ECE Apprenticeships over the next 24 months that will train and prepare 98 early educators! #ECEPTS #ECEApprenticeship #ApprenticeshipUSA #apprenticeship.gov

Last week, ECEPTS launched a 2-day statewide Boot Camp for 12 programs in Connecticut that will be implementing an ECE Apprenticeship over the next two years. Governor Lamont stopped by to welcome the group - which led to several TV stations covering the event! It was a GREAT day filled with enthusiasm and commitment from about 60 ECE leaders! #ECEPTS #ECEApprenticeship #ApprenticeshipUSA #apprenticeship.gov

Today, as we honor MLK's life and legacy, alongside the transfer of power at the highest level of our government, let his words serve as a crucial reminder to everyone committed to truth and justice, love and universal liberation.
