In 2023, Colorado Senate Bill 23-087 was signed into law to get more teachers into classrooms by creating a teacher apprenticeship program.

As a pathway to teacher licensure, the bill creates a teacher degree apprenticeship program, which builds on elements of current teacher licensure programs, including a bachelor's degree requirement, training programs approved by the Colorado Department of Education and structured on-the-job training. The teacher degree apprenticeship program is run collaboratively with the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment apprenticeship office (Apprenticeship Colorado) and utilizes mentor teachers and apprenticeship program sponsors.
