Educator Application for STEM Externship
Are you ready to embark on an enriching journey of professional development that not only captivates your interest but also equips you with skills directly applicable to your students' future careers? We invite you to take part in shaping the future of education and workforce development in Colorado through the innovative
K-12 Teacher Externship Program
, a groundbreaking initiative brought to life by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) in response to Colorado House Bill 23-1198.
As a participant in this program, you'll not only enhance your understanding of STEM fields but also develop practical skills that will resonate in your classroom. The connections you forge with professionals in the STEM industry during your externship will be invaluable, enriching both your personal growth and your students' educational journey.
Please answer all the questions below, which will allow us to tailor the first year of the program to your unique needs and interests, and to match you with an employer who can provide an Externship opportunity that is a good fit for you. Applicants must be currently employed by a public school in Colorado with plans to return to the classroom in the 2024-25 school year to participate.
