After a successful career in the financial industry, Stephen aspired to become a teacher. He took a significant step by being among the first Elite School employees to join the three-year Registered K-12 Teacher Apprenticeship Program.
Leo Carr, Executive President of the Elite Group, shared that the Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) emerged from their struggle to find teachers. As the RAP came into existence, thanks to the Registered Apprenticeship Standards holders, Workforce Intelligence Network (WIN) / SEMCA, Stephen eagerly stepped forward to begin his training journey. He possessed a bachelor’s degree in sociology yet wanted to become a Certified State of Michigan Teacher. Stephen thrived as a teacher apprentice, swiftly fulfilling his class requirements with Training Educators and Creating Hope (TEACH), a hybrid Related Instruction (RI) provider.
After completing his RI requirements, he took the State of Michigan test for teacher certification and achieved success by earning his interim teaching credential. Stephen has thrived as a full-time teacher and has risen to the position of Social Studies Department Head at the school he works for.
