The Early Childhood Leadership Commission endorsed the new Workforce Plan in February 2024. The new plan — Pathways to Success: Colorado’s Comprehensive Early Childhood Workforce Plan — celebrates the strides Colorado has made in the past four decades investing in the early childhood workforce and improving outcomes for children and families. It was created to align with the Early Childhood Colorado Framework, which was refreshed in 2023 and recognizes the need to honor the importance of all of the professionals working on behalf of young children and families for the important work they do each day. The plan has been designed to both address immediate priorities and provide a visionary outlook for future iterations and updates, recognizing the evolving needs of Colorado’s early childhood workforce. It underscores the dynamic nature of the workforce landscape and the need for a “living document” that adapts over time to meet the changing demands of our state’s workforce. (author abstract)
