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
