Become a Work
Ready Intern

Work Ready is addressing two issues: the labor shortage in child care and the employment rate among lower income citizens. The program will recruit TANF eligible individuals to participate in a paid internship in early childhood classrooms while concurrently enrolling in postsecondary academic coursework or training in early childhood education.
