Abstract: Federally registered apprenticeships better prepare new principals, remove barriers to entering the profession, and combat turnover. In December 2025, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), approved National Guideline Standards for the K-12 Principal occupation, which is expected to streamline the process for states to submit applications for their own registered apprenticeships. This paper discusses some barriers to the principalship and how states such as North Dakota, Virginia, and Alaska have received DOL grants that help surmount financial and administrative barriers to begin their programs. Considerations for state boards about registered apprenticeship programs for principals are also included.
