Recruiting participants (ECEs and ELCC owners/operators) for research project

AECEA, ECELC and the University of Alberta are recruiting participants in the early learning and child care (ELCC) sector for a research project, Alberta Early Learning and Child Care Workforce Stability Project.

This research aims to understand the needs of early childhood educators (ECEs) as well as early learning and child care (ELCC) owners and operators in Alberta to inform wage grid recommendations and workforce retention initiatives.

They are looking for ECEs who want to share their knowledge, experience, and insight through an interview, and ELCC owners and operators who want to participate in a small focus group. See the recruitment posters below for more details.

To participate, email Mary-Frances Smith at maryfra1@ualberta.ca.
