as a registered apprenticeship pathway, the organization announced earlier this month. The nonprofit group is one of the first tutoring programs in the nation to receive the approval., which serves more than 3,600 students, has grown in recent years and now operates in 18 counties in New Jersey. Its tutors focus on small group sessions with just a few students, held twice or three times a week.
The designation as a federal apprenticeship pathway makes the tutoring organization eligible for more funding through tax credits and apprenticeship grants. New Jersey City University officials said the apprenticeship program will combine the real-world experience of tutoring with preparing to be a teacher.
