Child care costs continue to pose a major challenge to employee recruitment, retention, and economic growth across West Virginia. To address this issue, the West Virginia Nonprofit Association [and Philanthropy West Virginia] are partnering with Wonderschool to host a free informational webinar on Monday, April 20, from 11:00am-12:00pm. The session will spotlight Tri-Share, a new child care initiative funded by an Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) POWER grant in partnership with the WV Small Business Development Center (WVSBDC).
As Governor Morrisey noted, “Improving workforce participation—that’s the challenge of our time…it’s the biggest issue we have here in the state.” In response, the Tri-Share Child Care Program is a fully funded pilot that splits child care costs among the employer, employee, and the state. This innovative approach helps employers attract and retain talent while easing the burden on working families.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- How the Tri-Share program works
- How employers and providers can participate
- Practical steps to get involved
Eligibility: The current pilot is available to any employer in Boone, Jackson, Kanawha, Lincoln, Mason, Putnam, Roane, or Wirt counties. Also, based on the recently approved Governor’s budget, the pilot is expected to expand statewide over the summer. Therefore, we encourage all organizations, regardless of where they are based, to attend the webinar to learn more.
This is a valuable opportunity to explore how investing in childcare can strengthen your workforce and support your community’s long-term success.
