Oregon Registry Education Awards
If you are currently working with children, you may be eligible to receive money in the form of an education award. These education awards are the result of an exciting public/private partnership, which has been working for several months to outline an initiative to improve child care quality. The partnership has created a plan for using the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Federal stimulus funds) to support this initiative. The plan distributes education awards to the child care workforce at specific professional development Milestones on the Oregon Registry. To learn more, click HERE.
