What does being "on hold" mean?

Participants in the NTLP have three (3) years to complete the two-year program. If a participant has completed the NTLP Summer Instructional Modules and is unable to find appropriate employment, either on his or her own, or through the Office of Teacher Recruitment by September 1, then the participant would be "on hold" in the program. The participant would not attend any monthly (Saturday) Instructional Modules , but would continue to look for and could accept a teaching position in the appropriate licensure area(s). Once the participant is hired in a full-time position he or she would start attending monthly Instructional Modules in the month employment is gained, and make up any missed modules. This could result in the participant requiring more than the two years for program completion. However, under no circumstances could a participant take more than three (3) years to complete two years of the program.
