Workforce Coordinator

About The Learning Lamp

You have a purpose and so should your job. Our children are the future of our community, and their care and education will directly impact their growth, development, and success. We believe success in the classroom is the foundation for success in life – and that no child should go without the opportunity to reach their full potential.

The Learning Lamp has been lighting the way to a brighter future for nearly 20 years in our region. Initially started with the mission to provide access to high quality tutoring without the high price tag, our organization has grown, minimizing education and care disparities for children through child care, tutoring, and more. We are an integral part of the community, providing much needed support for families, schools, and children.

We are looking for a full-time Workforce Coordinator who will work in a positive, mission-driven environment. The Workforce Coordinator will work in collaboration with the Early Learning Department, Shared Services, Human Resources, and the CEO to carry out all the parts of the ECE workforce professional development initiative. The Workforce Coordinator is also responsible for assisting with all aspects of the Early Childhood Education (ECE) Apprenticeship program and other professional development opportunities, including certified training in Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED for staff of The Learning Lamp and other local child care centers. Aspects of the job include marketing, program growth, data collection, program compliance, oversight of ECE job coaches, and day-to-day assistance to staff members, apprentices, employers, and coaches.
