**Real-world Experience**:
We offer teens the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a professional setting. Through the Exploring Energy Extern program, 16-to-19-year olds apply, create resumes, participate in professional interviews, and can qualify for a job-shadowing opportunity in the summer, which provides them with a deeper understanding of what various careers entail.

**Skill Development**:
Teens can develop a wide range of skills including communication, leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, and time management through their involvement in virtual, in-person, and hybrid Exploring Energy event programs.

**Networking Opportunities**:
We provide teens with the chance to network with professionals in their field of interest through guest speaker opportunities, field trips, and externships. Building these connections early on can open doors to future internships, job opportunities, and mentorships.

**Career Exploration**:
We allow teens to explore different field interests before committing to a specific educational or career path. This firsthand experience can help them make more informed decisions about their future.

**Resume Building**:
Part of the Exploring Energy Extern Experience is learning how to build and write a resume. Completing an externship demonstrates initiative and commitment to potential employers or

colleges. Participating in the Exploring Energy NEXT program also adds valuable experience to their resume and sets them apart from other candidates.

**Confidence Boost**:
Successfully completing our Exploring Energy programs can boost a teen’s confidence and self-esteem. It shows them that they are capable of navigating professional environments and handling real-world responsibilities.

**Personal Growth**:
The Exploring Energy event programs provide teens with opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery. They may discover new interests, strengths, and passions that can shape their future academic and career goals.

Building Bridges to Success
Beyond skill development, our program fosters a supportive community where participants can network with industry professionals, mentors, and fellow students who share their passion for energy.
