During my time working for Micron, I helped develop educational modules for their Educator Hub webpage. My main goal was to create 3–4 publishable modules that met updated company standards. Early on, my supervisor and I also agreed it would be valuable for me to deepen my understanding of semiconductor production and gain in-depth knowledge of Micron’s apprenticeship program so that I could eventually relay this information to students. During my externship, I successfully completed 4 modules that will eventually be published to the educator hub, gained far more knowledge about semiconductors than I ever thought I would, and became fairly well-versed in the apprenticeship program (one of the services I am most excited about). This experience not only strengthened my ability to plan lessons and create educational materials but also connected me with lasting friends/resources I can use to help students access life-changing career opportunities with one of the Treasure Valley’s largest employers. Ultimately, this externship was a huge success, and I hope to be accepted back in the future!
