School Districts

  • Register an educator apprenticeship program (Pre-apprentice, K-12 Teacher, K-12 Principal, etc.).
  • 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.
