The Registered Educator Apprenticeship Program provides an inclusive career pathway that changes lives and helps New Hampshire better meet the needs of our schools and K-12 students. This program is being offered in partnership with the National Collaborative for Digital Equity, ApprenticeshipNH, CCSNH, the University System of NH and numerous school districts across the state.
