Job Roles in the ECE Community: National/Federal Level

For this assignment we are asked to find places of employment or job opportunities within the state or federal level. I have found three employment opportunities those are:

 The first one is with the Department of Health and Human Services through the Administration of Children and Families. The position is a program specialist whose some of their duties are to serve as a focal point and resource to regional staff, and provides expert advice and technical assistance to Head Start/Early Head Start (HS/EHS) grantee agencies that includes programmatic and fiscal oversight responsibilities to ensure compliance with Federal statue and regulations.  Provides expert guidance and technical assistance to grantees and regional staff in program planning, management and fiscal operations in the areas of Head Start and/or early childhood development by promoting quality and comprehensive services for the children and families served.  

The second position is through the Department of Early Learning for the State of Washington. This position is Head Start State Collaboration Administrator. Their duties are to facilitate collaboration among Head Start agencies and entities that carry out activities designed to benefit low income children and their families from birth to school entry. The HSSCO provides a structure and a process for the Office of Head Start (OHS) to work with state agencies and local entities to leverage their common interests around young children and their families to formulate, implement, and improve state/local policy and practice. 
For this position would be essential to have intense knowledge about Head Start policies and procedures.

The third position is for Puget Sound Educational Service District as a Early Learning Senior Educational Coordinator.This position will  provide leadership and partnership within early learning systems to ensure equitable educational opportunities and sustainable child development and academic outcomes.  The EL Senior Coordinator, Education will coordinate regional educational program services and provide technical assistance to staff on the establishment of cohesive early learning systems. This position requires only a BA in the field of Early Childhood.

I must say searching for job opportunities at a National and Federal level was very interesting and at times challenging. I could not find much opportunities within my state which I feel qualified for. Overall, it has given me a more broad sense of opportunities in the field to consider.
