Designed for pre-business students, a business externship is an unpaid, collegiate level job shadow experience for one to five days. Each student applicant was matched with an organization and assigned to a mentor (often an alum) to learn about activities performed in a business career, how an organization functions, and the educational and experience needed to enter a field. 65 students completed an externship with 45 different organizations.
I would recommend the program to any business major. It has prepared me for the future in a way that I wouldn't have known had I not participated in the program.
