U.S. Department of Labor Apprenticeship Graduates

• Tara Schwartzkopf of Torrington received her Child Care Development Specialist Certificate on 5/1/2009

Purpose

Career Development is a voluntary statewide program that documents early child care professionals educational and professional accomplishments. This program is administered and housed at the Wyoming Children’s Action Alliance (WCAA). Early child care professionals may use the program to accumulate an accurate record of their education and to receive recognition for their professional commitment.

The Career Development program may also be used in the following ways:

• Employers may recruit staff for positions based on their career ladder level (levels are one through nine).
• WCAA may publicize the education, training and experience of participants, thus informing parents and community their children are being cared for and educated by trained professionals.
• As an opportunity to pursue continued professional growth and adequate compensation.

Application

A Career Development application must be accompanied by a résumé documenting educational and professional experience.
