FROM THE CLASSROOM TO THE REAL WORLD

Explore is a multi-day externship program that encourages undergraduates to see theoretical classroom knowledge practiced in real-world settings. It offers participants valuable insights into their specific industry’s day-to-day operations, culture, and challenges.

Participants also engage in professional development workshops pertaining to soft skills such as resume preparation, social media usage, branding, and interviewing. Networking within the program and forming relationships can lead to mentorship, internship, and job opportunities. 

Multiple program iterations exist to align with a participant’s field or industry. Below you can find information on upcoming Explore programs that are accepting applications.
