This primer is intended to start the conversation on the Department of Commerce Workforce Development Planning Guide – Guidance for CHIPS Incentives Applicants (“Department guidance”), to assist applicants like Intel in creating and implementing a successful child care plan as required by the Department of Commerce. To develop this primer, Action for Children convened focus groups of child care providers – home based family child care and centers, for profit and non-profit, from Franklin, Delaware, and Licking counties – as well as journeyed and apprenticed tradespeople who are parents, and women in construction management. The document includes six sections: 1. Child Care Is a Workforce Priority for Everyone; 2. Meeting the Challenge and the Application Requirement; 3. Applying the Key Principles: On-Site Child Care; 4. Applying the Key Principles: Child Care in the Community; 5. Additional Considerations; 6. Achieving Chip Manufacturing and Child Care Priorities in Central Ohio and Beyond. (author abstract)
