Description
The New York State Educator Workforce Development HUB (The HUB) is poised to address the state’s urgent need for over 180,000 new teachers in the next decade through the expansion of teacher apprenticeship programs. Established in 2022 with funding from the US Department of Labor’s Apprenticeship Building America program, The HUB focuses on creating well-prepared educator workforces by developing teacher Registered Apprenticeship Programs. Collaborating closely with state labor and education departments, the HUB has successfully navigated the complex regulatory landscape to support and expand these teacher apprenticeship programs. The proposed grant will enable the HUB to establish ten apprenticeship programs, benefiting 260 teacher and teacher assistant apprentices across five regions and significantly increasing the earnings potential of participants, with new teacher assistants potentially seeing a 43 percent increase and new teachers up to 116 percent increase in earnings. Additionally, The HUB will provide technical assistance, develop resources, and implement a centralized data system to monitor progress.
