Improve job outcomes for every student

Why Extern? Why Now?
What started as support for individual learners has grown into a broader vision. By partnering with forward-thinking universities, Extern is building a new model for delivering externships at scale, one that expands access, integrates career exploration with applied experience, and equips every student with career-ready skills employers recognize as essential for success in today’s increasingly complex professional environments.
We’re opening a pilot opportunity for 6 universities to collaborate with us in Q1 2026 to explore this model.
Our hope is to be able to guarantee professional experience for all students — regardless of background, major, or prior experience. We invite you to join us on this mission.
It has never been harder for college graduates to find jobs
Join Extern’s pilot program to enable and empower the next generation of talent.
