Goals of the Consortium
The Child Development Training Consortium provides
cost-effective training to eligible personnel employed by Child
Development programs to assist them in meeting the requirements
of the California Children's Center Instructional and
Supervision Permits. The Consortium also provides training
opportunities for Family Child Care Providers.
Who is Eligible?
Employees of Child Development programs and Family Child Care
providers are eligible to participate in the training offered by
Consortium campuses.
What Types of Classes are Offered?
After local agencies and programs are contacted and needs are
assessed, campus coordinators determine the type, location, time
and scope of courses that will be offered. Although on-campus
classes form the foundation of course offerings, special
emphasis is placed on offering off-campus courses, and courses
offered at special times of day or days of the week. Short term
classes or classes with specialized content developed
specifically for the Consortium students are also possible. The
majority of courses provide units of credit that can be applied
toward the Children's Center Instructional and Supervision
Permits; however, some courses may meet prerequisite
requirements or have a vocational focus as in the case of
classes designed specifically for Family Child Care providers.
How Does the Program Operate?
A Consortium of college campuses provides appropriate
training in a variety of geographical locations throughout the
state. Each college designates a coordinator who oversees the
training and plans for regular, special or off-campus classes as
needed. The coordinator consults with local agencies and a
community advisory committee to determine training needs and
obtains all necessary student eligibility information.
Reimbursement to each college is generated by units earned in
specific courses attended by eligible participants. The funding
is based on units allotted to each member campus. The funds can
be used to offer special classes, reimburse participant tuition
costs, or to meet other identified training needs of the
community, agency or students served.
