Partnering to meet the child care needs of parents in education and training: Four profiles of collaboration

Description:
Child care can be a major challenge for low-income parents who want to participate in education or training to improve their employability and future earnings. One promising approach is to develop collaborations between those who provide education and training services to families and those involved in meeting their child care needs. This report profiles four innovative collaborations working to bridge this gap. Two of these are between colleges and child care resource and referral (CCR&R) agencies; these partnerships focus on helping student parents understand and find child care options. The other two are between state child care subsidy agencies and state agencies that run education and training programs; these partnerships focus on helping parents get child care subsidies so they can participate in education and training. This report is written for two audiences: for education and training providers looking for new ways to help their students/clients with children succeed, and for child care support organizations looking for new ways to reach parents and meet their child care needs. These profiles provide useful insights into how, by working together, these organizations can support the needs of two generations as the parents strive to improve their ability to provide for their families.
