Memphis Teacher Externship Program

Apply for a 2025 Teacher Externship

The Greater Memphis Chamber is now accepting registrations from businesses and teachers for the 2025 Teacher Externship Program! This summer initiative bridges the gap between education and industry by providing high school teachers with a two-week, hands-on experience at a host company. Participating teachers receive a stipend, and they gain invaluable insight into industries connected to the subjects they teach, equipping them to better prepare students for the workforce.

For Businesses:
Hosting an extern is an easy, impactful, and rewarding experience. The Chamber provides dedicated Technical Assistance to help businesses design an engaging, meaningful externship experience that aligns with their goals. From support crafting a structured externship schedule to templates and examples to proactive communications and guidance, we help ensure the experience is turn-key and stress-free for both your team and the teacher.
