To help alleviate a shortage in child care workers, a new registered apprenticeship program was recently announced to attract more people to the field and improve the quality of home-based child care.

This week is "National Apprenticeship Week" which is a good time to highlight Connecticut's Apprenticeship Training Program and the great careers that await as you learn while you earn!

A recent report commissioned by the Connecticut-based Dalio Education found more than 63,000 young adults were "disconnected," and 56,000 students were "at risk" between 2021 and 2022.
