Challenge:
Strategies:
- Mecklenburg County offers multiple programs to assist with childcare subsidy of which Workers may not be aware. Familiarize yourself with the various types of subsidized childcare available to support Workers in their journey of Economic Mobility, and make referrals as needed.
- Some employers offer on-site childcare for participants in programs and services. This not only increases participation but also increases the worker’s ability to fully engage and get full-value from the services. Offer this option for consideration when addressing issues of childcare while seeking employment.
