Putting the EXTRA in Externships

Recorded May, 2021

NHA hears from our programs on a regular basis about the many barriers for highschool students in gaining access to work-based learning. When employers decide to break down  those barriers and open up opportunities to learners there are direct benefits to school systems, students AND employers:

  • Reducing their training and recruitment costs
  • Hiring better and more prepared employees who have a better understanding of the workplace
  • Ultimately creating a talent pool that becomes future leadership

Our hosts Laura Flynn and Stacy Foster share industry leading best practices to help CTE programs gain access into the employers space.
