Why is this resource useful?

A survey is an excellent tool to collect feedback from a primary stakeholder.   This information and feedback should be used to identify areas of improvement and opportunities to enhance the Program from both the Schools/Districts and Industry’s perspective.   The tool should be shared with other campuses to establish a district-wide survey which increases the participant population and yields more reliable and actionable data.  Any improvement to this Externship process will directly benefit the STEM Education Program.
