IPS filling teaching positions through apprenticeship program (WTHR)
Right now, there are more than 1,600 open teaching positions across Indiana.
But at Indianapolis Public Schools, they have a new program aimed at fixing the problem in their district. They're now recruiting and training new teachers all within a year.
It's a no-cost, paid, one-year teacher certification program through IPS and Christel House Indianapolis. Avance is one of six apprentices in the program, being trained across three IPS elementary schools, each paired with a mentor.
