Summer Externships

Idaho businesses partner with educators to host an in-depth summer work-based professional learning experience, known as the Externship Program.
Externs work 200 hours at host sites, learning firsthand how STEM/durable skills are applied in the workplace, so they can better educate their students on potential STEM pathways. Site hosts give back to the community and benefit from new perspectives and an extra hand, and both gain additional value from local professional networks.
