Three educational institutions are coming together for a new program aimed at addressing the teacher shortage in Pennsylvania.
HAZLETON, Pa. — Community leaders and educators joined forces Thursday morning at Luzerne County Community College’s Hazleton Center to announce a new initiative aimed at combating the statewide teacher shortage.
The ‘Teach in NEPA’ project is a partnership between LCCC, Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania, and the Hazleton Area School District.
“Going to work collaboratively seamlessly to produce a four-year degree for less than $30,000 here at Luzerne County Community College’s Hazleton Center. That means they enroll here, go here, graduate here, and work here,” said John Yudichak, Luzerne County Community College President.
