Career Preparation

With the employment of child care professionals expected to grow 2% through 2028, the assistance of childcare workers is still needed. In addition, the demand for preschools and childcare facilities, and consequently childcare workers, should remain strong because early childhood education is widely recognized as important for a child’s intellectual and emotional development.
