IMPACT
Entry Level and Stage I Programs
Description:
The Early Childhood Resource Center's IMPACT Entry Level &
Stage I Programs were created in order to provide opportunities
for people of color to develop, increase and upgrade their skills
in Early Childhood care and Education. The Programs started
in 1991 to build capacity in communities of color for the healthy
development and education of children
The foundation of the IMPACT Entry Level and Stage I Programs
is the cultural component provided by our Cultural Dynamics
Education Project. It is intended that this series of multi-cultural,
in service workshops will help increase awareness of various
cultures. Each workshop is certified for three in-service hours.
The IMPACT Entry Level Program is a six week, 33 hour training providing basic entry level
courses on topics such as behavior, development, first aid,
parent communication and business management.
The IMPACT Stage I Program has collaborated with the Minneapolis Community & St. Paul Technical College to train enrollees via the college's Child Development Certificate course, which grants 14 credits. IMPACT Stage I also supports opportunities for technical advice and mentoring support for individuals accepted as candidates for the Child Development Certificate.
Who can apply for these programs?
Persons of color who are in the field or are looking to come
in the field and wish to upgrade their skills.
Where are the classes located?
Classes are located at the Early Childhood Resource Center,
1600 East Lake St. Minneapolis, MN.
What is the financial obligation to the participants?
This program is at No Cost to the enrollee. ECRTC pays for class
fees, materials and monthly bus passes.
