Faculty Diversity Internship Program: STEM

 

The Faculty Diversity Internship Program trains and prepares interns, interested in teaching at a community college, for future faculty employment opportunities. The intent of the program is to increase the pool of potential candidates that reflect the diversity of our student population in the local community, greater South Central Coast area, and internationally. The program offers professional development workshops on various instructional related topics and classroom training under the guidance of a mentor in a specific discipline.
