Many of the 56 students who completed externships indicated that the program enabled them to build new skills, gain industry exposure and enhance their competitiveness for the job market. Moreover, participants strengthened their time management and self-accountability. ‍

Gone are the days of students struggling to find meaningful experiences to accelerate their employability

We all want more for our students

Industry and educational professionals alike recognize that not every institution can offer up the training and experiences necessary to prepare students’ transition into the workforce.

That's why we partner with Educators

To bring project based externships we co-create with our company partners to students. We believe work-integrated learning is the missing link connecting hungry, diverse, and qualified students to entry-level positions in the industries of their choice.

We understand the restraints of academic institutions

The desire to boost their student body’s labor market competitiveness is huge but the bandwidth to achieve such a broad, aspirational goal is often out of reach.

How we can spread the word together

Companies are eager to partner with academic institutions in order to foster the exact opportunities students need to bridge this age-old gap. Partner with us to empower your students.
