Abstract: Early care and education (ECE) apprenticeship programs provide structured on-the-job learning combined with job-related education or coursework. ECE apprenticeships are viewed as a promising strategy to prepare people for careers in ECE or provide career pathways for the those currently working in ECE. This report presents a framework to guide future research and offers a strategic approach to develop a portfolio of evidence about the implementation and outcomes of ECE apprenticeship programs. The project team scanned available information about ECE apprenticeship programs, interviewed seven people knowledgeable about ECE apprenticeships, and held a virtual convening with 25 participants to learn about ECE apprenticeships. The team identified and reviewed 28 nonresearch publications, such as policy briefs, advocacy briefs and reports, program overviews, and technical assistance resources, and 16 research publications. The team analyzed themes from the available information, interviews, and virtual convening to inform the learning agenda and associated recommendations.
