YWCA Minneapolis Teacher Workforce Development Program is designed to help you earn your Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, the best first step for early childhood education teachers.
“When I started, I had no experience other than being a mom. I’ve grown a lot in my job and learned how to be a professional teacher.” – Jennifer, program graduate
With this program, you can gain professional skills to move up in the Early Childhood Education field.
This program is state and privately funded. It supports you in your teaching position and gives you resources to complete the program. The program is Minnesota-registry approved and CDA aligned. Once your training is complete, your CDA testing fees are paid for.
