The courses in this certificate have been offered for years and folks have been taking them to obtain the Associate Teacher permit. Packaging them in a certificate that corresponds with the permit is new.
Please list similar programs at other colleges in the service area which may be impacted, including the name of the college, the name of the program that may be impacted, the name of the person you contacted and the outcome of that contact.
The demand for Associate Teachers in childcare settings is great. These courses have been offered at MPC for years. No additional impact is expected at similar programs at neighboring colleges.
