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.
