Case Study
The Gold Standard of Teacher Training
How Talent Together is transforming teacher preparation in Michigan: $78M in state funding, 225 new teachers projected, 95%+ completion.
What's inside
- How a consortium of all 56 Michigan Intermediate School Districts built registered teacher apprenticeships
- The model: a full paid year in the classroom, tuition covered, mentor support and formal USDOL standards
- The numbers: $78 million from the Michigan Legislature, 225 new teachers projected, 95%+ apprentice completion
- Why a full academic year beats 9 to 18 weeks of traditional student teaching
- How Craft Connect became the data backbone that lets the program scale
Who it's for
State education leaders, districts, EPPs and grow-your-own programs weighing registered apprenticeship as the pathway into teaching.
