What is an Externship?

Experience Externships provide an opportunity for students to “job shadow” various professionals within their chosen industry. The focus is on real-world education, the opportunity to learn from experts to understand the challenges of their industry and what it takes to be successful.



Experience Externships are fully managed with a mix of instruction, project based team challenges, industry presentations and Q&A sessions. Our holistic approach includes parent info webinars, the ability to earn digital badges, recommendation letters and student support sessions.



Externships are held over 5 days during the school year or over breaks, whereas internships tend to be 8 weeks long at minimum. Students share the career journey with their peers and get to try out several roles to find their best fit, whereas internships only provide the opportunity to the lucky few.



Saving time for educators with class accessibility and expanding breadth of industry discovery for students, Experience Externships are perfect whether students are set on a career path or unsure of their choices.
