Recruiting and retaining apprentices who are English Language Learners (ELLs) is essential to building an ECE workforce that reflects the communities served. This national webinar will make clear what is needed to support the success of ELL apprentices. Through firsthand perspectives from employers and apprentices, we’ll examine the intersection of language and professional development. The session will highlight effective strategies, common challenges, and practical tools for building stronger, more inclusive apprenticeship programs.
