The Georgia Department of Education document outlines plans for an International Apprenticeship Program. It discusses existing memoranda of understanding with regions in Germany and France to facilitate teacher and student exchanges. These exchanges focus on career clusters like manufacturing, hospitality, education, architecture, and STEM. The program aims to provide international experiences for students and teachers through partnerships with schools in other countries that have technical career training programs and industry connections. Future plans include expanding the program through additional funding, outreach to businesses, and a partnership with Georgia Tech to offer courses at their campus in Metz, France.
