2024 Early Care and Education Registered Apprenticeships in Michigan Report
In 2023, Early Childhood Investment Corporation published the Early Care and Education Registered Apprenticeships in Michigan Report, a first of its kind state of the state report on early care and education registered apprenticeship (ECE RAPs) in Michigan.
Since the release of the 2023 report, ECIC leveraged a $4 million dollar investment from the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential’s (MiLEAP) Caring for MI Future initiative to support two sets of grantees to design and scale up ECE RAPs.
