About the Educator
Apprentice Program
No cost to trainees. Earn while you learn.
The first of its kind, the Educator Apprentice Program is designed for those that want to become Education Technicians. After completing the Intro to Teaching one-week boot camp, you will spend one day per week doing coursework while also receiving experiential credit working in the classroom during the rest of the week. Participants are aligned to earn an Associate Degree through the program. And, you can earn while you learn as an employee of the school district offering the program.
