Case Study
Building Degree Apprenticeships in Louisiana
How Louisiana flipped the teacher-prep model: apprentices earn wages with tuition covered, and the first cohort saw 100% job placement.
What's inside
- Why Louisiana started with education: teacher shortages plus the proven cost barrier of a teaching degree
- The flipped model: tuition paid and wages earned while training, keeping candidates on the four-year pathway
- Pilot results: 100% job placement for Delta Community College's first cohort, 54+ apprentices across five cohorts and 13 districts
- How Pell, WIOA, Title II and the Geaux Teach waiver braid together to cover tuition
- Three action items for governors, from NGA's degree apprenticeship case study series
Who it's for
Governors' offices, state education agencies, higher ed systems and districts weighing degree apprenticeship as the pathway into teaching.
