Amelia Lee at Lexington, Kentucky’s WKYT-TV reports Eastern Kentucky Concentrated Employment Program (EKCEP), the Kentucky Office of Employer and Apprenticeship Services (KEAS), the Governor’s Office of Early Childhood (GOEC), and LKLP Head Start have started a new Registered Apprenticeship Program in Early Childhood Education.  According to EKCEP more than 76,000 Kentuckians do not work because they do not have access to childcare options, like Head Start.  A lack of options - along with shortages in the workforce makes this Apprenticeship Program a needed step in the right direction, Officials said.  The program is the first of its kind in Eastern Kentucky.  Twelve young Educators, with three years of experience of less, have signed onto the program this month.  The program’s goal is to give hands-on training to new Educators, letting them learn from experienced professionals in their field.
