Official description
Reference #RFA 32027-00023 Externships for Teachers. Description: The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) seeks applications from local Workforce Development Boards (Boards) and Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) to collaborate with Schools or Adult Education Literacy Providers and Private Sector Employers to provide Externships for Teachers. This program aims to provide Teachers with opportunities to engage on-site with Texas industry partners and learn how lesson plan content is applied in the real world. The Externship will inform Teachers about the skill sets required for a given industry. Teachers will then develop and teach lesson plans that connect classroom content to industry in the real world and workplace. As a result, students will develop an understanding of the academic and technical skills they need to enter the workforce and compete for jobs in their local Texas communities.
Eligible Teachers and Private Sector Employers:
1) Teachers, as defined in Section 1.2, Definitions, may participate in Externships.
2) Private-Sector Employers, as defined in Section 1.2, Definitions, may provide Externship opportunities for Teachers. Project closes Oct 09, 2026 10:00 AM CDT.
