We all know the vicious cycle of needing work experience to get work experience. But how do we break it? That's where externships come in. In a recent interview with Forbes, our CEO and co-founder, Matt Wilkerson, explained how externships offer a solution for gaining real-world experience. "An externship is a more scalable, work-experience model that offers project-based work in collaboration with companies, nonprofits, or government agencies. Compared to internships, externships for students are: Shorter in Duration: Allowing students to complete several externships and explore multiple careers. More Flexible: Programs are available anytime during the year from anywhere in the world, with the ability for students to work on their own schedule. They are remote and online. External to a Company’s HR Process: No W-2, 1099 tax form, or company onboarding. Less Pressure: Students are not explicitly penalized if they drop out, cannot finish, or fall behind due to life circumstances. 'The result is the ability for students to quickly discover and test career possibilities, as well as build experience and confidence to attract future career opportunities,' says Wilkerson." Professional experience. Anywhere, anytime, for anyone. That's the Extern way. Interested in learning more about externships and how they can benefit you?
