Summary
Pinkerton Academy in Derry, New Hampshire, has launched a new registered apprenticeship program aimed at developing future educators. Sponsored by the New Hampshire Department of Labor, this initiative provides employees with a competency-based framework for on-the-job learning, paired with college instruction that leads to licensure as educators in the state.
This program aligns with Pinkerton’s commitment to experiential learning and creating accessible career pathways for aspiring teachers. By fostering a hands-on approach to education, the initiative not only supports individuals in their professional development but also addresses the growing need for qualified educators in New Hampshire.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
The establishment of this educator apprenticeship program highlights the importance of registered apprenticeships in addressing workforce shortages in education. It serves as a model for how schools can collaborate with workforce development initiatives to create meaningful career pathways for future educators.
