The Extern Program is a unique career exploration program designed to link University of Toronto students with experienced professionals in the workplace.

You can help students in investigating the skills, educational requirements, work environment, and the lifestyle that accompany all aspects of a career. 

By participating as a sponsor in the Extern program and sharing your insights and experiences, you play an active role in educating students about your career field and the workplace.

Placements last 1-5 days and take place during February and May.
