Students are placed with a professional working in a career related to their interests for approximately twenty-five hours, over a one to two week period. The externship activities are flexible and are mutually agreed upon by the student and the employer sponsor. The student may rotate among departments to gain a broad view of the organization or spend time with just one person to gain a more in-depth perspective. Students and employer sponsors in any career field may participate. Students gain a realistic perspective of a career field, put their classroom knowledge and skills to work in a professional setting, and network with professionals.
Any student is encouraged to participate as early as the freshman year.
The experience is designed to help students make informed decisions about career choices and plan their college academic experience accordingly.
