during the early stages of a student’s education, and it is ideal for students who may still be deciding on their career paths.

and will get some hands-on experience; however, an extern may end up doing more than mere shadowing depending on
the student’s willingness and capacity (language skills, communication skills, etc.). To make the best of an externship,
students will aim for their personal growth and develop specific skills they choose based on the APU Rubric.
