Educate Maine has launched the application for teacher apprenticeship, Ed Tech apprenticeship, and registered pre-apprenticeship funding for Maine School Districts. This opportunity is intended to support Maine school districts in developing, implementing, or expanding apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship pathways that help recruit, prepare, support, and retain future educators.
These funds are designed to help reduce barriers for aspiring educators by supporting earn-while-you-learn pathways that include paid employment, structured on-the-job learning, mentorship, related instruction, and progress toward certification. We hope that you will share this opportunity across your network - if there are any other materials or information that would be helpful, please let us know.
We encourage districts to consider how this opportunity may support your local educator workforce needs and help strengthen your long-term educator pipeline. Applications may be submitted for teacher apprentices, Ed Tech apprentices, and registered pre-apprenticeship pathways, with funding caps outlined in the application.
Submissions should be made by July 15 to be considered for Phase One funding.
