Educators in the Workplace

Educators in the Workplace is a Partners in Education initiative that connects 6th to 12th grade educators and counselors with a unique work experience opportunity with a local employer. Often referred to as educator externships, participants are placed with a local employer and given the opportunity to earn hands-on experience working in a variety of disciplines within the organization. The experience offers participants the ability to learn about education and work-related requirements within their selected industry and enables them to better prepare their students. Educators in the Workplace also offers the opportunity to earn graduate or undergraduate credits tuition-free or a stipend for a non-credit option.

Three-credit undergraduate and graduate options are available through the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. A non-credit option is also available for those that wish to earn a stipend. For those applying for credit, 100 percent of the cost of tuition will be covered by Partners in Education if you are a 6th - 12th grade educator or counselor employed by a member school district.
