• Develop GYO program documentation and processes.
• Perform data collection and needs assessments.
• Launch an educator recruitment process.
• Connect with Educator Preparation Providers (EPPs), other related instruction providers, and Local Workforce Development Boards.
• Design innovative ways to solve district workforce pipeline challenges.

In this visual of a school’s educator workforce development pipeline, the GYO Center supports program development at four points of entry for learners. 1) Teaching as a Profession (TAP) programs for high school students, 2) Associates degree programs that are also pre-apprenticeships or paraprofessional apprenticeships, 3) Candidates completing bachelors degrees as registered teacher apprentices, and 4) Candidates who have bachelors degrees and do not have a teaching license.
