The externship experience gave me hands-on exposure to real-world investment analysis and sharpened how I present financial insights at a professional level. During my Mangusta Capital externship, I delivered a final investment presentation to the founder that went really well. We stayed in contact and I was later offered the opportunity to join the team and I took it.

Venture Capital Analyst intern at Mangusta Capital

Gevans Gabeau

In my Capital One interview, they asked what I was doing to grow professionally, and I immediately drew back on my externship experience. It was my first real exposure to consulting, and having that experience, especially with a well-known company, made it so much easier to stand out. Everyone wants you to have experience before you can even get an internship, and Extern was what helped me break through that barrier.

I really enjoyed this experience. It was flexible, which made it easier to focused on school, work, and do the externship. I got to meet people (networking). I also like that the meeting were recorded, so I could look back when I couldn't make it to the actual meetings.

Questions we get all the time

How is an Externship different from a certificate program, bootcamp, or skill course?

Unlike a typical credential platform, Extern lets you…

‍

Demonstrate skills you built through real work on your resume
Demonstrate real business impact you drove on your resume
Connect with industry professionals and other externs
Engage and learn from our very own Program Managers who support you

How do Externships compare with internships?

For every 5 college students, there’s only 1 internship available. And if you're lucky enough to get an internship, there's no guarantee you're in for a meaningful experience when it comes to training and support. Externships were designed as accessible, high-quality experiences to bridge the divide between academia and the workforce.

‍

Extern provides…

Real professional experiences not normally accessible to students

Practical training on in-demand skills that you demonstrate through a real -work deliverable

Soft skills training and development in a supportive environment

‍

While also providing…

Flexibility year round with fully remote experiences

Ability to explore multiple industries, skills, and companies

Structured professional training beyond typical internships, like advanced prompting, Gen AI application, and creating custom chatbots to keep you ahead of the curve

‍

Who is eligible?

No prior experience or specific background is required - as long as you’re passionate, curious, and have a drive to learn.

‍

Currently, we’re prioritizing applications from:

Seniors in undergraduate (Bachelor’s) programs at U.S.-based institutions
Graduate students in Master’s, Doctorate, or Professional Degree programs at U.S.-based institutions

Extern’s mission is to make Externships accessible to all students, and we’re working to expand capacity to include more academic years, institutions, individuals who aren’t in school, and other regions. If you’re from a different group, we encourage you to apply now—your application will help ensure you’re among the first considered as we expand. To receive updates on expanded capacity, subscribe to our newsletter here.

What exactly happens during an Externship?

You can see an example of the Externship format currently used in our Consumer Insights Marketing and Data Analysis program. It includes a week-by-week breakdown, highlighting the skills you’ll develop, the tools you’ll use, and your interactions with the host company.
