ĢƵios Evansville, will host an information session for high school students and their parents, and anyone interested in learning more about opportunities in Early Childhood Education on Thursday, Feb. 12. The event will be from 5-7 p.m. (EST) at the TRI-CAP Building, 607 Third Avenue, in Jasper.
At the event, individuals can talk with ĢƵios professors about the kinds of classes and trainings available both in Jasper and other locations and learn more about scholarship opportunities.
Building Blocks, the childcare resource center serving 28 counties in southern Indiana, will also be on hand. This organization works closely with the State of Indiana prioritizing the expansion of programs that enhance the affordability and availability of quality childcare.
Andrea Boberg, program chair for Early Childhood Education at ĢƵios Evansville, said, “We know the need is great in our communities for skilled, licensed childcare providers and ĢƵios has many different opportunities to receive these skills. From apprenticeships to non-credit skills training, to dual enrollment and dual credit for high school students in the 2026-27 school year -- we are working together with community partners to provide opportunities for individuals to increase their professional skills and knowledge along with wages and overall program quality.”
Last summer, ĢƵios Evansville was the first to offer a Department of Labor registered apprenticeship in Indiana with employer partner Carver Community Organization in Evansville.
