Earlier this month, Nicole had the opportunity to join a distinguished group including First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, Governor Jared Polis, Speaker of the House Julie McCluskie, Senate President Steve Fenberg, members of the State Department, legislative leaders, community partners, and higher education students to discuss Colorado’s innovative workforce training and career pathway programs and legislative efforts. Nicole states, “Our state policy makers and partners, regardless of which side of the aisle they are on and who they represent, work together to ensure our youngest Coloradans have the best opportunity to find and pursue careers, including critically important early childhood professions.”
Congratulations to Steamboat Ski & Resort, honored with the MTS Summit Award for their innovative employer-based child care facility! They saw their local community and employees struggling with finding child care, and they did something about it by opening an employer-based child care facility in December, 2022, that serves Steamboat employees and community members. This is a well-deserved honor as one of only a few ski resorts in the country to provide this critical benefit to its employees. EPIC is proud to have played a supporting role in creating the center through our one-of-a-kind Design Lab.
