Unlocking Apprenticeship Opportunities for Tutors

Provide Feedback Through July 23rd! Draft National Guideline Standards for Tutor Apprenticeship Programs

As tutoring programs grow, evolve, and seek to diversify their funding sources, there is a promising opportunity to align with state workforce systems and apprenticeship pathways, expanding the support and recognition available for this work.

To help realize this potential, the Partnership for Student Success, the New Jersey Tutoring Corps, the National Student Support Accelerator and the Pathways Alliance drafted a set of National Guideline Standards (NGS) for registered tutor apprenticeship programs. The draft standards are now available for public comment through July 23rd.

These standards build upon existing quality frameworks and aim to position effective tutoring models as quality workforce-aligned experiences that can align programs for apprenticeship funding and support state and local workforce boards in accelerating approval for programs that meet nationally recognized standards for quality.
