A Must-Listen Conversation Our Executive Director, Dr. Sarena Shivers, recently aired on iHeart radio to discuss how Talent Together is diversifying Michigan’s educator workforce and breaking down barriers for aspiring teachers. In this insightful conversation, Dr. Shivers highlighted: ? Many of our teacher candidates come from the communities they will serve, strengthening local schools. ? Talent Together removes financial barriers—our program is tuition-free for candidates. ? Our “Learn & Earn” model allows candidates to earn a portion of a teacher’s salary while receiving their certification. ? Coaching, mentoring, and hands-on experience ensure long-term success for new educators. ?? Listen to the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/eemQWdyH We are committed to expanding opportunities and supporting the next generation of educators. Thank you for being part of this journey with us!
