Connecting the Classroom and Entrepreneurship: Insights from a Teacher Externship

In this episode of The HR Minister, we dive into the fascinating intersection between education and business as we explore how teachers and entrepreneurs can collaborate to better prepare students for their future careers.

Educators and business leaders have a powerful opportunity to partner in bringing real-world tools and modern workplace expectations back into the classroom. By collaborating through externships and industry partnerships, we bridge the gap between education and employment—equipping students with the skills, mindset, and professional presence they’ll need from day one. These connections not only prepare the next generation for the workforce but also strengthen our communities by aligning education with evolving industry needs. #WISD #TeacherExternship2025   www.hr911.org
