Bridging the Gap: Exploring the Intersection of Workforce Development and Childcare

Preparing for employability (such as through education and training) and finding suitable jobs can be challenging, and especially for low-income parents. This research report from the Urban Institute can help you better understand the workforce development challenges faced by those rearing and supporting families. Although it is written from the US public sector perspective, it highlights the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of child care systems and workforce development programs, and contains a number of insights that are broadly relevant to organisations seeking to provide training or educational opportunities to their employees. This resource will be of particular value to HR professionals and leaders responsible for employee development.
