Extern

Hi, we're Extern. 👋 We've empowered over 20,000 students from diverse backgrounds to upskill, enhance their resumes, and kickstart their careers through impactful Externships. 🚀 Teaming up with global brands, Fortune 500s, startups, and more, we deliver expert-led projects that seamlessly integrate learning with real-world experiences. The results speak volumes: nearly half of our students transition to internships and full-time roles with Fortune 1000 organizations alone. 🌟 At Extern, we're not just a platform; we're a trusted ally, uniting students and corporate partners in our shared mission of democratizing work experience opportunities for all, irrespective of their starting point. Whether you're a student eager to launch your career or a company looking to partner with us, we're excited to connect! Explore opportunities at www.extern.com, and let's make an impact together. 💼✨ #extern #gainexperiencewithextern

For years, college students have faced skyrocketing tuition, leading to $100K–$200K in cost to earn a degree. Many incur debt. Few get professional #experience. Internships are shrinking and career centers aren’t equipped.💸📉 Employers want experience, not more certifications.🎗 At Extern, we’ve been listening.👂 After speaking to hundreds of students via interviews and town halls, it became clear: students want flexible, reliable ways to learn skills and explore careers—without endless applications and uncertainty. It’s why I’m excited to announce Extern’s new membership—a new way to make real experience accessible, flexible, and impactful with a single set of acceptance criteria.🌟 Why this is different: 🎓 Structured Training with Professional Experience: Extern is creating a form of “career university” in which the new professional experience we developed – the #Externship – is embedded within custom professional training and guided student support. Instead of courses and case studies, students get experience. ✅ One Application, Many Opportunities: Just like you can apply to a degree program and take multiple courses, Apply Once to join Extern. If accepted, explore and reserve Externships that fit your goals and interests. Build a resume on skills learned and output created, not applications you optimize.  💰 Affordable Access: Demand is growing for education that brings experience. But co-op programs like Northeastern cost $64K/year and are scarce in supply (leading to a 6% acceptance in 2024). For just $10/month, accepted applicants to Extern can explore professional experiences while getting training, mentorship, and support. Plus, we give accepted applicants a free trial before deciding if they want to enroll.  🤖 Future-Ready Skills: From #GenerativeAI to strategic analysis for consulting, Externships let students build skills through experience that fortifies them in a changing job market. Our corporate-sponsored Externships with stipends remain open (no need to be a member) and driven by the recruiting priorities of our partners. 💼 But to truly scale and support more students’ career needs and the demand for skilled graduates, we’ve built the member model. Extern isn’t a matchmaker for existing internships—we create new experience “inventory.” The monthly fee funds an L&D team for custom training, student support staff, program managers, and new Gen AI training. It also covers platform costs, engineering for a seamless experience, and a team ensuring only top-quality companies join and are supported.🛠 Applying doesn’t guarantee acceptance. However, we don’t prioritize previous experience, high GPAs, or signals of prestige. We look for curiosity, growth mindset, perseverance, and authenticity. Extern provides opportunity to students ready to grow. 🚀 I'm excited to continue the convo across a series of town halls I’ve been hosting with the student community and alumni. Let’s make real experience more accessible.🌟
