Our externship program offers a unique opportunity for students to gain real-world experience,
explore career paths, and develop valuable skills under the guidance of industry professionals.
By hosting an extern, you have the chance to make a meaningful impact on the lives and careers
of aspiring professionals while also benefiting from their enthusiasm, creativity, and energy.

What is an Externship?
An externship is a short-term, immersive learning experience that allows students to shadow
professionals in their field of interest, observe daily operations, and participate in hands-on
projects and activities. Externs bring a fresh perspective and eagerness to learn, while host
organizations provide mentorship, guidance, and exposure to the inner workings of their
industry
