Overview |
| |
The Economic Impact of Early Childhood Education – is presented in partnership with First 5 LA and is designed to explore the relationship between quality early childhood education and global competitiveness. As an academic institution dedicated to training the workforce of tomorrow, UCLA Anderson School of Management believes that one of the most important economic challenges facing our nation is producing the next generation of workers with the capacity and skills required to compete effectively in the global economy. In particular, we recognize the importance of the first five years of a child's life as the beginning of the educational pipeline. This full-day conference is designed to bring together a diverse constituency of academic scholars, policy makers, business leaders, philanthropists and young professionals – all discussing quality early childhood education as a critical sector of the economy that delivers the highest return on investment and a unique competitive advantage. |
