State and Local Agencies

For this blog I looked up different agencies in the state of Michigan. I found three agencies that were of interest to me.

The first agency is the MiAEYC ( Michigan Association for the Education of Young Children).  This organization is committed to improving the education and welfare of children from birth thriugh age eight. This woild be my second favorite organization to work for.  I think they do a wonderful job with training and implementing professional developoment for staff in the early childhood field.

The job posting that interested me was Early learning communities hub trainer.  This person woild delover training and support services.  The goal is to work witrh United Way in SE in Michigan in implementing early Learning Communities.

The skills for this job would include strong communication to explain services and materials.  Knowledge about early childhood education would be necessary also. 


The second organization I found was Michigan Federation for Children and Families.  Their vision statement is to assure that the most vulnerable children and families have access to quality services supported by private and public funding.

Job that was interesting to me but not qualified for was that of a care manager.  This position needs a bachelors of Human Services.  The job entailed working with a clinician and taking down information to help individuals be part of the community.    This person need to have good written and verbal skills.  Should be peoole oriented and willing to work as part of a team.


The final organization I found was Michigan Headstart.  This organization provides quality instruction and education to prepare children for school.  The program is also appropriate for the developmental , ethnic and cultural heritage of the families.  Of the three I have listd, this is my favorite.  I feel that this organization does a superb job in helping children and families with appropriate services.It would also require that the individual be knowledgeable about the local services that are available to families and the qualifications to meet thoise needs. Collaboration amongst other agencies would be necessary as well as team oriented.  Individual would need to be highly organized.
