The cost of childcare can be a deal-breaker for parents contemplating entering the workforce. That could change for workers in the Blue Water area thanks to the MI Tri-Share Child Care Pilot Program. A state grant has provided $300,000 for St. Clair County’s Tri-Share Program.
The MI Tri-Share Child Care Pilot Program shares the cost of childcare between the state, the employer, and the parent. Participating employers could see their employees’ childcare costs decreased by two-thirds, giving them more incentive to get back into the workforce and stay employed.
Business owners and Human Resources Professionals are asked to attend a short informational virtual meeting on Wednesday, March 16th to learn more about the innovative new program and how it can impact their business.
The meeting is hosted by the St. Clair County RESA and the Economic Development Alliance of St. Clair County. A link to sign up for the Zoom meeting can be found <HERE>.
