Making an Impact with Public Investments

This year, the Milwaukee Succeeds-led Early Childhood Education (ECE) Coalition and its partners have been putting public investments into action. Take a look at how the $5 million Workforce Innovation Grant and $7 million City of Milwaukee ARPA investment are helping strengthen the ECE workforce.

Workforce Innovation Grant

Currently 43 individuals are participating in coursework, career counseling and wraparound supports to improve their ECE credentialling, far surpassing the initial goal of 35.

ARPA Investment

As of September, 2,805 educators had received stipends totalling over $2 million. Plus, 11 high schoolers are participating in dual enrollment coursework at Milwaukee Area Technical College and 11 men of color fellows have been placed in ECE classrooms.
