The national college completion gap has directly contributed to the greatest income inequality in our country’s history. A bachelor’s degree is one of the most valuable tools we have to democratize access to the 21st-century workforce and meet the needs of a diversifying population. We know we can all do more to make sure today’s students have what they need to realize their potential and contribute their gifts to the world.

As a participant in the Career Discovery Externship, host a one-day summer experience to give scholars a day-in-the-life glimpse of your company. (In-person or virtual may be the right fit for you, depending on location(s) and preference.)

We rely on our partnerships to offer important career exposure and readiness opportunities for our scholars. College Track partners with corporations holistically and for the long-term. Our strongest relationships harness the time, talents, and expertise of employees as well as financial investment of companies to accelerate social mobility for our scholars.

During the Career Discovery Externship event, students will participate in strategically designed day-long visits to our partner host companies, where participants will:

• Learn about our host company’s history, mission, business model and product line from company leaders

• Learn about the company’s culture and impact from a panel of employees

• Be paired a mentor to observe daily routines and learn the necessary skills to be successful in the position.

• Be assigned a case study for review, analysis, and presentation

Our staff works closely with you to co-create the content. We have many templates and tools ready-to-use so that your employee volunteers may focus on impact rather than capacity!
