Early Childhood Education Pathway

 

About the Program

Pre-apprenticeship: These are students who will begin taking a Student Success Seminar Class (Counseling 1) at Hartnell College starting Summer 2024. Students in this pathway will also receive training and workforce skills through our partnering agency PITC. These students will be ready to enroll in two ECE classes at Hartnell College in the Fall (August) 2024.
Apprenticeship: Students who want to start taking ECE classes right away will join our a ECE Cohort at Hartnell College and register for two ECE classes that start August 2024. Once these two classes are completed and students are accepted into the program they will be placed at a local organization where they will work and gain valuable hands-on work experience while getting paid. Students in this pathway will also receive training and workforce skills through our partnering agency PITC that will help in their development.
