What Are Externships?


Infographic comparing internships vs. externships

An externship is a short-term learning experience that allows individuals to observe and explore a specific profession or industry. Unlike internships, which typically last for several months and involve hands-on tasks, externships are often much shorter, sometimes lasting just a few days or weeks. They are primarily designed for job shadowing, giving participants the chance to witness the day-to-day responsibilities of professionals in the field.

Externships provide valuable insights into workplace culture, industry expectations, and potential career paths without the long-term commitment of an internship. They are often unpaid and can be arranged through educational institutions, professional organizations, or direct networking. Many students and career changers use externships to build connections, gain exposure to different roles, and make more informed decisions about their future career choices.
