GORHAM, ME (December 16, 2022) — Always wanted to teach, but never had the time or money to go back to school? Gorham School Department has a program for you! We are starting our 2nd cohort of Educator Apprentices THIS JANUARY! This time we are working with our regional partners! Our schools will hire you full time with benefits as Full Time Substitutes, then we organize courses through SMCC to get you to an Associates degree in just 2 years based on 31 “traditional” credits and 30 workplace learning credits! Courses are offered on site here in Gorham and THEY ARE FREE TO PARTICIPANTS! Then, once you complete that program, you can choose to go on to a Bachelor’s degree and teaching certificate with our partners at USM in just another two years, all while gainfully employed with benefits, working with children and earning while you are learning!
