The program, now in its sixth year, pairs teachers with business professionals in similar fields of study, in order to make students' learning more relevant to the workplace. Teachers then develop lesson plans to share with students, based on the hands-on Externship experience.
For the second consecutive year, the Externship is sponsored generously by Shell Oil Company.
