Transforming Preparation through Apprenticeships
We’re here to help New York Educators and Providers thrive.

From childcare through preschool to school age students, EDHUBNY works with partners to develop the workforce that’s needed.

Investing in the Next Generation of Educators and Providers
Preparation Matters!
EDHUBNY brings highly-developed new educators to educational communities and childcare settings across NYS using an innovative Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) model, approved through the NYS Department of Labor State Apprenticeship Agency. Apprenticeships offer increased equity and access through an earn-as-you-learn model, providing paid employment with potential tuition assistance.
RAPs address the disconnect between studied theory, learned practice and career expectations by embedding the related instruction in daily collaboration with experienced educators for at least one full academic year.
Meeting the Challenge Through Apprenticeships
-
SHORTAGE AREAS
allows districts, BOCES, agencies and providers to target need areas to access, hire, train, and retain strong talent.
-
RECRUITMENT
removes barriers for the underemployed, underserved and underrepresented to join the child serving workforce.
-
WELL-PREPARED NEW HIRES
develops a workforce knowledgeable & immersed in the community with families, the district, curriculum & programs.
-
RETENTION
reduces cost to taxpayers, strengthens educational preparedness, school culture and student learning.

Stakeholders
-
LEAs (districts, BOCES, charters and/or privates, child care agencies and providers) may serve as sponsors and/or employer signatories providing the paid on-the-job experiential and guided application of learning. If the sponsor, they oversee the Registered Apprenticeship Program and work with NYS DOL to meet monitoring and reporting needs. As employer signatory, the LEA will work with ANEW, the group sponsor, to implement the Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP). ANEW will work directly with the NYSDOL to meet monitoring and reporting requirements. Employers can leverage the RAP to meet identified current and future childcentere workforce needs.
-
Local union affiliates work with their districts/schools to identify the experienced educators that will serve the apprentice providing one-on-one (1:1) daily guidance, feedback, and mentoring as they complete their related instruction. The local union affiliate will also work, as the collective bargaining unit, to negotiate ways to recognize and compensate the important work of the experienced educators.
-
Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs), operate as related instruction providers in a RAP. They provide high-quality coursework, sometimes as part of a degree program. Related instruction leads to an initial certification in a field. IHEs may be listed on multiple RAP applications serving multiple RAPs through related instruction to their candidates. For both the apprenticeship titles of ‘teacher’ and ‘school administrator’, IHEs hold the responsibility to recommend the candidate for NYS Initial Certification.
