Interested in Hosting an Extern for Summer 2022?
The Idaho Workforce Development Council and Idaho STEM Action Center, both under the Executive Office of Governor Brad Little, have combined forces to develop the Idaho Teacher Externship program. The goal of this program is to provide classroom teachers and career counselors with the opportunity to engage in relevant, localized work during the summer with Idaho businesses, which in turn will allow them to better prepare their students - Idaho’s future workforce. Check out the Host Site Quick Start Guide or Download the Idaho STEM Action Center Externship Business Handbook.
