Frontline CAREER (Childcare Access, Resources for Equitable Employment & Retention)
Our solution expands career pathways and childcare access for women and families by strengthening an existing coaching program for frontline employees and boosting community-based supports.
Frontline healthcare employees - predominantly women and people of color - face high turnover and limited career mobility due to unstable childcare access and barriers to career advancement. To address this broken rung, UIC experts in workforce development, health equity, and early-childhood education will partner with Advocate Health to expand its Success Coaching Program, integrating career development and community-based childcare supports. Frontline CAREER builds individual, organizational, and community capacity to foster a long-term culture of empathy, equity, and retention.
