What's included in your Extern subscription

A plain-language overview of what your Extern subscription covers — externship access, mentorship, the platform, and what's included vs. not included.

Extern operates on a simple subscription model: a free trial, then $10 per month while you're an active member. The subscription gives you access to the Extern platform — the catalog of available externships, the application and enrollment flow, mentor-guided projects, and the supporting curriculum.

What your subscription includes

  • Access to the Extern catalog. Browse all currently-listed externships and apply to any you're eligible for.

  • Enrollment in externships. Once accepted into a cohort, you can participate at no additional charge beyond your monthly subscription.

  • Mentor-guided projects. Each externship is led by an industry mentor who reviews deliverables and supports your work.

  • The Extern platform. Curriculum, milestone tracking, deliverable submission, and cohort communication tools.

  • Verification of completion. When you finish an externship successfully, Extern can verify your participation and completion to employers and admissions offices.

What it doesn't include

  • Employment. Extern is not an employer, and externships are educational learning experiences — not jobs.

  • General letters of recommendation. Extern provides program-specific reference letters to named employers or admissions offices on request, but does not write open-ended "to whom it may concern" letters.

Free trial and cancellation

New members start with a free trial. After the trial ends, your subscription begins at $10 per month. You can cancel at any time from your account settings — your access continues through the end of the current billing period.
