How To Hire A Teacher In Prison Architect

In Prison Architect, hiring teachers is a straightforward process that happens automatically when you set up an education program. Unlike other staff members, you don’t need to manually recruit teachers—they’ll be assigned to your facility as soon as you establish the necessary infrastructure and education curriculum. This guide walks you through the simple steps to get your first teacher working in your prison.

Understanding Teacher Hiring in Prison Architect

Teachers are not manually hired in Prison Architect. Instead, they are automatically hired when you start an education program. This means the system handles recruitment for you once certain conditions are met.

Step 1: Build a Classroom

The first requirement is to construct a classroom where the education program will take place. You have two options:

Option A: Design Your Own Classroom

Build a custom classroom with your own design specifications.

Option B: Use Quick Build

If you prefer not to design a classroom from scratch, use the Quick Build feature. Click on “Quick Build” and select “Classroom” from the menu. Then place it anywhere in your prison facility.

Step 2: Start an Education Program

Once your classroom is built, you need to initiate an education program. Navigate to the Reports menu in the bottom right corner of your screen.

From the Reports menu, select “Programs” and start a Foundation Education Program. This is the basic education curriculum available in Prison Architect.

Step 3: Schedule the Program

After initiating the Foundation Education Program, schedule it during a free time slot when inmates are available. Choose a time that doesn’t conflict with other prison activities. For example, scheduling from 5pm to 8pm ensures inmates aren’t occupied with other programs.

Step 4: Watch the Teacher Arrive

When the scheduled time approaches—in this example, 5pm—the teacher will automatically be hired and assigned to your prison. The teacher will make their way to the classroom to begin instruction. No additional action is required from you; the system handles the hiring and assignment automatically.

Summary

Hiring a teacher in Prison Architect is entirely automatic. Simply build a classroom, start an education program through the Reports menu, schedule it during free time, and the teacher will be automatically assigned when the program begins. No manual hiring process is needed—the game handles staff recruitment for education programs seamlessly.
