Monroe has partnered with Extern to guarantee professional experience

How is Extern and Monroe working together?

Monroe has partnered with Extern to guarantee professional experience for their students through their capstone and internship classes.

There are select classes at Monroe who will be leveraging Extern and the projects offered through Extern
In these classes you’ll be working directly on externships, projects hosted and mentored by senior professionals at companies you recognize like Amazon, Schreiber, Canva, Beats by Dre, and more.
These projects are hosted and facilitated via Extern where you not only get to work with your classmates on these live projects, but meet students and professionals from around the world working on the same project as you.

How Are Externships Different Than Internships?

Flexible & Fully Remote

These projects are virtual and fully remote so you can do it on your own schedule wherever you are. They're structured as online modules that teach you how to do the project that go along with the actual project and live company meetings throughout the externship.

Types of Projects

Projects range from a variety of industries and career paths and give you a chance to learn the in-demand soft and hard skills employers are saying incoming workers need to have. Examples include consulting projects in sustainability, creating an investment memo for a VC, game design, and more.  

Duration

A typical externship lasts 8-12 weeks long at about 5-10 hours each week. It varies based on how much you want to put in, what your background is, but anyone can do any of the externships regardless of GPA, major, or existing experience. You get what you put in!
