IDEC Workforce Listening Sessions

jonesa@illinois.edu (Alissa Jones) — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 08:00:00 CDT

Please join one of our upcoming IDEC Workforce Listening Sessions to discuss support, training and professional development, compensation, work environments, and wellbeing for Illinois’ early childhood education and care workforce. In these sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to share successes, challenges, and opportunities, as well as provide input on the state’s priorities related to the early childhood workforce. This feedback will be used to inform the state’s work and opportunities as the early childhood programs and services transition from DCFS, IDHS, and ISBE to IDEC. We’re particularly looking for input from the frontline early childhood workforce (i.e. teachers, assistant teachers, home visitors, therapists, etc.), though anyone is welcome to join.

Register for a session by clicking on the date and time. Content for all sessions will be the same. Spanish translation will be available.
