FFYF Joins Letter to White House American Workforce Policy Advisory Board
As this Board continues its efforts to promote education and training, and to better support the American workforce, we write to ask that the Advisory Board convene a working group or dedicate a future meeting on early learning and care, and consider the integral role that quality child care plays in the workforce of today—and tomorrow. In the near term, however, we request that the Board immediately weigh in on the overwhelming need to stabilize the child care industry, which is on the brink of collapse as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
