EDMO's Workforce Development initiatives are creating clear pathways to a teaching career while building a sustainable pipeline of diverse educators for our communities.
We believe that by investing in our dedicated staff, we can directly address the statewide teacher shortage and create a more inclusive and resilient education system for everyone. Our programs are a testament to our commitment to both our team and our community partners.
Explore our innovative programs designed to empower aspiring educators and strengthen the workforce of tomorrow.
In partnership with the Butte County Office of Education (BCOE) and San Diego State University, the Teacher Pathways program empowers EDMO staff to become fully credentialed teachers through a program that provides financial support, mentorship, and essential resources for studying and test preparation.
In collaboration with Hartnell College, the BRIDGE Apprenticeship Program offers eligible EDMO staff a tuition-free opportunity to leverage their work experience to earn college credit.
These programs are more than just initiatives — they are solutions to the critical challenges facing California's educational landscape.
We are actively building a sustainable pipeline of qualified educators from within our own communities, directly contributing to a statewide need.
By empowering our experienced EDMO staff to become credentialed teachers, we ensure even higher standards of instruction and expanded learning for students in our partner districts.
Our programs invest in the professional growth of individuals already dedicated to serving students, creating a more diverse and community-rooted teaching workforce.
