Tribal Child Care Association of California

Workforce Pathways

The Tribal Child Care Association of California is excited to continue our Workforce Pathways Program with new  applications starting July 1, 2022. With funding provided through CDSS’s QCC Workforce Grant, TCCAC has  developed a workforce program to support child care providers in all settings. We offer teachers in centers, providers  with family friend and neighbor programs, aunts and grandmas operating relative care programs, everyone who is  dedicated to caring for Tribal children in California an opportunity to further develop their skills in culturally relevant  ways. Participants in our Tribal Workforce Pathways Program can work on higher education goals toward degrees or certifications or professional development in a variety of child care topics. Each participant will work with our  Workforce Advisor to set goals and identify resources needed to achieve those goals. TCCAC will support the  participant by identifying and overcoming barriers to reaching goals through financial supports, identifying resources  and providing incentives for goal completion with a stipend program.

Participants can choose topics that are most relevant for them and their programs. The TCCAC Health and Safety Manual will be the foundation for this pathway.
