Teacher Externships
Workforce Solutions Capital Area is partnering with employers, school districts, and colleges on a 5-day Teacher Externship Program for summer 2024!
This summer, Workforce Solutions Capital Area will connect 130+ teachers and counselors from AISD, Del Valle, Elgin, Manor and Pflugerville ISDs with five-day externships. During the externship, an employer provides a teacher or counselor with the invaluable opportunity to observe and speak to employees, including management, about the skills, certifications, and career pathways within the employer host’s organization. After completing their externships, the teachers must create lesson plans based on their experiences, which they can then use in the classroom.
If you or your company is interested in hosting an extern, please sign up here, or email k-12awareness@wfscapitalarea.com if you have any questions.
Watch our short video highlighting some of the companies and teachers who participated in last summer’s externship program.
