Budgeting for ECE Apprenticeship Programs
A realistic budget is one of the most important tools for developing and managing an ECE apprenticeship program. This webinar offers a practical introduction to building a budget from the ground up. Drawing on ECEPTS’ experience administering apprenticeship programs, we’ll cover the key costs to consider, how to estimate expenses, and how to align costs with available funding, including public funding, philanthropy, and employer contributions. Participants will leave with practical tools for building and managing their own program budgets.

national conference
ECEPTS National Conference on ECE Apprenticeship
Each year, the ECEPTS National Conference on ECE Apprenticeship informs, inspires, and empowers a broad and diverse coalition of early care and education (ECE) leaders, stakeholders, and apprenticeship pioneers. Participants learn from and about a wide variety of apprenticeships: new, emerging, and well-established; community-based, statewide, and national; designed for newcomers, incumbent workers, and leadership. Plenary sessions highlight apprentice and national voices; breakout sessions address practical strategies and system-wide challenges.
