Abilene ISD teachers will have more opportunities for hands-on experiences in the workplace because of a $28,500 Teacher Externship Grant from the Texas Workforce Commission to Workforce Solutions of West Central Texas.
TWC Executive Director Ed Serna was on hand to present these grant funds in the AISD Board Room on March 23. Attendees also heard presentations from AISD staff members who previously benefited from the Workforce Solutions Summer Externship Program to extend career-based learning to students in their classrooms.
Employers in Abilene and the Big Country can register online for this unique opportunity to host an AISD Teacher Extern for three days in June 2022. The goal is for employers to provide skills and knowledge to teachers that can be passed on to AISD students entering the workforce. Teachers can apply for an externship beginning Friday, April 1.
