HIGHER EDUCATION TRAINING PROJECT

This program gives undergraduate and graduate students currently enrolled in a university or community college, as well as Alternative Certification Program (ACP) students the opportunity to explore, observe, and recognize the importance of high quality early care and education, and the social and economic implications on a community/region. Participants develop an awareness of, and an appreciation for the contemporary issues in early care and education of typical and atypical young children. Past participants have come from Houston ISD, Rice, Texas Southern, St. Thomas, UH Universities and Houston Community College. For more information, contact Rachel Riles at (713)654-1404.

INTERN PROGRAM

This program is designed to develop good work ethics and entrepreneur skills in pre-teens, and teens. While learning about the various aspects of running an early care and education business, participants will have hands-on opportunities to learn about the responsibilities in running a business, what it takes to develop and deliver a good product (high quality early care and education program), and the economic impact a poor product has on the business vs. the impact a high quality product has on the business.

HOW TO APPLY?

Participants must complete an application and interview. Participants must complete 8 hours of Pre-Service training offered by YSAFE.
