As a manufacturer, it's critical that I field enough well-skilled staff to cover my company's many operations, from custom metal stampings and assembly work.
It's also helpful to remember that my employees' successes rely partly on the training and capacity of many other workers, both inside and outside our sector -- including those in early childhood settings.
These teachers and the pre-K and child care centers that employ them, help develop a foundation for our future workforce. They do so by nurturing children's early math and science skills as well as non-technical abilities such as creativity. Plus, these programs are essential supports for working parents. That makes their quality and quantity, a top concern for countless business fields.
