Teacher Externships Improve Student Employability

The Teacher Externship Project is helping to bridge the gap between the classroom and industry professionals in our local area. Adult educators and employers are connected to prepare students for employability in industry specific occupations utilizing contextualized lesson plans. Local educators across secondary, adult education and post-secondary institutions will benefit from understanding business trends and workplace culture to better prepare their students for the workplace.
