Since its start in 2016, the Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL)'s Policy Fellowship has had 32 fellows.
The Fellowship is driven by the need to enhance career pathways for early childhood professionals. The intent of this program is to grow the candidacy pool of future leaders in Pennsylvania's early childhood system at the state and local levels, and ultimately, strengthen the quality of the early learning system to better serve children, families, and providers.
Through this program, fellows will be able to:
- Network with colleagues from across the state and field;
- Participate in leadership training, conferences, and special events;
- Contribute directly to the work of OCDEL;
- Learn critical skills from PA's leaders in early childhood education; and
- Make their voices heard.
Applications are due Friday, July 26, 2019.
