Minnesota HF1538 appropriates funds for teacher apprenticeships and requires a report on program effectiveness.

Minnesota HF1538 allocates funds from the workforce development account to support teacher apprenticeships. The bill mandates the commissioner of education to consult with relevant authorities to establish criteria for funding, oversee programs, and recommend improvements. It also requires a report to the legislature on program usage and recommendations for statutory or rule changes. Eligible school districts can partner with institutions of higher education to develop apprenticeship programs, which must include specific components such as on-the-job training and related instruction.
