BACKGROUND:
The Early Childhood Job Training Project (ECJTP) is designed to assist entry level I
limited English proficient workers in obtaining the education and certifications needed to
advance within the Early Childhood Education field. Participation in this program will
give immigrant workers the education and skills necessary to avoid remaining in i
minimum wage jobs without the opportunity for advancement. Following participation in
ECJTP services, participants will have the skills to advance up the career ladder into
jobs offering higher salaries, job security, and benefits sufficient to keep them I
independent of subsidized employment.
I
Catholic Charities will collaborate with the Contra Costa Community College, West
Contra Costa Adult School, and Careers with Children Training Program at the Balboa i
Head Start School in Richmond (a program operated by Contra Costa County Office of
Education Regional Occupational Program) to provide Early Childhood Education and I
Child Development training and certifications. (#21-475-11) I
