Florida SouthWestern State College is launching the first state-approved teacher apprenticeship program this fall at Imagine School in North Port.
The program allows paraprofessionals to earn a bachelor's degree in elementary education from FSW at no cost.
This two-year program aims to address the teacher shortage and expand access to the profession.
To learn more about the program, contact Associate Dean Anne Angstrom at anne.angstrom@fsw.edu.
