Remote Externship Opportunities for Community College Students


Build your resume with real-world business projects. Real companies, real problems, real work. Plus, receive a $500 stipend upon completion.

Made possible with support from the PwC Charitable Foundation, Inc.

We’re offering the best way for community college students to break into their careers.

How? It’s simple—just 3 easy steps:

What’s Waiting for You:

Flexibility to Fit You
We get it—classes, social lives, jobs—life can be chaotic. That's why our programs are fully remote and flexible, leaving you with more time to do what matters to you.
Earn While You Learn
Upon completion, receive a $500 stipend to recognize your hard work and dedication. At each program you'll spend about 10 hours per week over 6-12 weeks.
A Competitive Resume  
You don’t need a degree from a traditional four-year university to stand out to recruiters. Develop essential career skills through real work.
Your Dream Job
It’s time to get hired; nearly half of our externs have landed jobs or internships with Fortune 1000 companies within a year, including Google, Microsoft, Tesla, and more!

Stipend Eligibility

To receive your stipend, you must:

  • Attend / recently attended a US-based community college
  • Be a first-time participant — students who have previously received a stipend through an Extern community college externship are not eligible for an additional stipend
  • Successfully complete all program requirements and deliverables
  • Maintain high attendance at scheduled meetings and sessions
  • Be located in the United States

Extern reserves the right to withhold stipend payments in cases of suspected misrepresentation or fraudulent activity.
