The bill establishes an early learning apprenticeship grant program to support early learning program service providers in Hawaii. The program aims to address the shortage of qualified and well-compensated early learning professionals by providing financial assistance to cover costs associated with participating in state- or federally-approved apprenticeship programs. The University of Hawaii will administer the program, awarding grants based on criteria such as the size of the provider and the difference between current wage rates and required wage rates.
