Description:
SWFI grantees worked toward the overarching goal of removing child care barriers faced by working families in need of training by facilitating parents’ access to child care and child care subsidies. Addressing child care needs is crucial in helping parents access and succeed in training but is a relatively novel focus for workforce programs. As a result, grantees faced structural and community challenges to addressing parents’ child care needs. This brief highlights some of the strategies that grantees developed to connect participants to child care and lessons learned that may be helpful to organizations implementing similar programs.
