A world where anyone can access professional experience as a form of education

At Extern, our mission is to empower everyone to discover and launch their career through meaningful, professional experiences available anytime, anywhere. We pioneered the remote Externship—a flexible, remote project with a company that combines real experience with structured training to help students build confidence and career-ready skills.

At Extern, we know today’s job market is tough. Internships are more competitive than ever, and hands-on, real experience is critical to stand out.  Externships were designed to bring value to college students and companies alike. For student members, Extern combines accessible, real-world experiences with expert guidance and a growing community. Companies are able to engage with far greater numbers of students than traditional internships allow, and reach diverse candidates who otherwise would fall outside of their talent funnels.
