Overview

Thank you for your interest in the Teacher Registered Apprenticeship Program (T-RAP).

Employer Partner: The aim of any apprenticeship program is to place and prepare the job seeker for entry into a career pathway. The most essential partner of any apprenticeship program is an employer that is actively engaged in the planning and operation of the program with the other partners to ensure the apprentice is well prepared and can be effective as soon as they enter the labor force.
