This practice-oriented paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of a workforce pilot to provide online early childhood courses to 36 new employees. The pilot program, funded by a competitive workforce pipeline development grant, was developed to address the professional development needs of the workforce, enhance their skills, and improve the overall quality of early childhood education (ECE). The paper discusses the rationale behind the pilot, its goals, the selection of courses, the delivery method, and the evaluation process. It also presents the outcomes and lessons learned from the pilot, highlighting the benefits of online courses for workforce development in the early childhood education sector.
