Innovation starts with educator, the Idaho Workforce Development Council is proud to partner in the 2026 Idaho STEM Conference to help prepare Idaho students for the opportunities of tomorrow.

From July 29–31, more than 300 educators, administrators, higher education leaders, industry partners, and out-of-school learning professionals will gather at Canyon Ridge High School in Twin Falls to explore innovative teaching practices, emerging technologies, and career-connected learning that bring classroom learning to life.

Last week, WDC Project Coordinator, Meliah Anchustegui, participated in CTE Connect 2026 as part of their new poster presentation session. Her poster highlighted Idaho's Educator Externship Program and how industry partnerships for educators strengthen career-connected learning and showcase real-world impact across Idaho.

Three Educators also presented their own posters during the session, sharing about the projects they completed as Externs with the Idaho Division of Career Technical Education, and demonstrating how Externship experiences can translate directly into classroom practice and stronger alignment with workforce needs. Together, these posters highlighted the power of collaboration between educators, industry, and statewide partners to inspire, educate and elevate education for Idaho students.
