| Abstract | In recent years, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has implemented policies and program initiatives to improve and expand professional development training for the state's child care and early education workforce. One aspect of this process has been implementing Develop--The Minnesota Quality Improvement and Registry Tool. Develop allows center-based and family child care providers to find and track professional development training required for licensing, the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP), and Parent Aware rating requirements. It also provides a common platform for professional development trainers to become approved, ensuring quality standards, and allows trainers to market training events statewide. With the goal of improving access to training for the child care and early education workforce, DHS contracted with Child Trends to study the supply of and demand for professional development training in Minnesota. Child Trends analyzed administrative data from Develop and conducted online surveys of the workforce and of professional development trainers to understand supply and demand, including use and perceptions of Develop. In addition, Child Trends examined the training needs of the workforce and professional development trainers who do not use Develop. Research questions focused on: (1) How the workforce finds training events; (2) The workforce's training preferences and the types of training available throughout the state; (3) Barriers to access and whether gaps to access exist in different geographic areas across the state; and (4) Workforce and trainer use of Develop for finding, tracking, and advertising training events. Findings from this study provide critical information about how Minnesota's professional development training system currently functions for the child care and early education workforce and the extent to which progress has been made to ensure equitable access to training events. Recommendations focus on strategies DHS can use to expand and improve access to training across the state and to facilitate the workforce and trainers' use of Develop for finding, tracking, and marketing professional development training.
