Customized Onsite Workshop Funding
Did you know that Alberta Child Care Grant Funding can be used for ARCQE Onsite Workshops as well?
ARCQE onsite workshops qualify for staff PD funding too! Your staff has the option to pool their personal PD funding together to cover the workshop costs. This option can be less expensive for staff than attending regional workshops, and allows for customized workshop delivery to meet your specific program needs. Stop waiting for the workshop that you want to be scheduled regionally and book your onsite workshop today!
