Center for Regional Economic Competitiveness Report On New Bridge Program From High School to Career

A new earn-and-learn bridge program, launched last year in Philadelphia, addresses an urgent need for higher quality pre-K programming by helping high school students launch careers in education. CREC produced a report on the program for District 1199c Training and Upgrading Fund with support from the Pennsylvania Key and the Pennsylvania Office of Child Development & Early Learning: “Report on the Early Childhood Education Pre-Apprentice Model”.
