It’s Never Too Early – Employment Initiative

This project will update and provide training on employment using Employment Checklist tools and related resources (available at https://hdi.uky.edu/employment-checklists). These resources were initially developed through a Kentucky family/advocacy workgroup as part of a Partnerships in Employment statewide systems change project. As part of this project, the early childhood checklist, targeting children aged three – five and their families, will be reviewed by families, staff and consultants with lived disability experience. The updated resources will be the central element of trainings offered to families and child care providers around the state.
