What Providers Receive Through This Partnership
✅ Fee-Free Substitute Staffing Access
Providers can post and book substitutes through Tandem at no cost. Tandem’s service fee is covered by ELC Pasco & Hernando, and providers pay only the substitute’s hourly wages, their rate designated by the provider.
✅ Quarterly Workforce & Staffing Training
Best-practice sessions focused on staffing systems, retention, scheduling, and workforce sustainability.
✅ Professional Development for Your Team
Unlimited access to high-quality training through Show and Tell Me More, giving both your staff and substitutes the tools to strengthen classroom quality, engagement, and preparedness.
✅ Administrative Support
Tandem handles compliance tracking, payments to substitutes, and ongoing platform support.
✅ Permanent Hiring Opportunities
Programs may hire a substitute permanently after 120 hours at their site.
