A Teacher Professional Development Experience like No Other!
An externship is an immersive experience and partnership with the local military & industry to support teachers' understanding & practice of engaging students in future workforce skills and increase career-connected learning experiences for students of all ages. Teachers will learn more about local and Department of Defense (DoD) careers in STEM as they earn a $1,200 stipend and 30 CPE hours!
The exact dates depend upon your placement, but all externship experiences will take place sometime in June - July 2025.
Only 10 spots are open, so complete this interest form today! This summer we are accepting elementary, middle and high school teachers!
Application Process & Deadline
The last day to complete this open interest form is April 18th. Then we will review applicants and find the strongest match with our 10 industry placements.
