Registered Apprenticeships for K-12 Principals: A New Option to Build Pathways

The U.S. Department of Labor's July 10, 2023 approval of the principal occupation as eligible for registered apprenticeship came at the request of education leaders in North Dakota, National Center for Grow Your Own, Council of Chief State School Officers, NAESP, NASSP and multiple North Dakota stakeholders. This new designation, similar to the registered apprenticeships for teachers, allows for labor funding to be used to cover costs for your principal pipeline (i.e. tuition, books, fees, etc of earning a master's degree in school leadership). This webinar will feature state leadership from the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction as the first state in the nation to create a registered apprenticeship for K-12 principals. During this session, attendees will learn the who, what, when, where and why of registered apprenticeships for principals.
