The Greeley-Evans School District 6 Board of Education meeting on August 25, 2025, highlighted the success of the district's internship program, showcasing its significant impact on students and local businesses. A standout moment came when a local business owner praised intern Wyatt, the son of board member Julie Hill, for outperforming seasoned professionals during his summer internship. "Wyatt outpaced and outperformed even industry professionals," the owner noted, emphasizing the value of interns in a challenging job market where many applicants fail drug tests.

The discussion also revealed a growing interest in skilled trades, particularly welding, which has seen waitlists at both Greeley West and AIMS Career Academy. Vice President Midley expressed relief over the continued demand for welding, countering concerns about its viability as a career pathway. The board confirmed that 45 employers participated in the internship program, with plans to expand this initiative in the future.

Additionally, there was enthusiasm for developing opportunities in audio broadcasting, with board members encouraging connections to enhance student placements in this field. The meeting concluded with a collective appreciation for the hard work put into the internship program, which has proven beneficial for students and local businesses alike. As the program continues to grow, the board remains optimistic about its future impact on the community.
