"The partnership aspect of the Externship allows us to get fresh feedback, regularly liaise with the Paragon One team and monitor students' progress. So we can reach out to them if they’re facing challenges and we know what support they need."
"Many of the 56 students who completed externships indicated that the program enabled them to build new skills, gain industry exposure and enhance their competitiveness for the job market. Moreover, participants strengthened their time management and self-accountability."
"We saw the remote externships that Paragon One offered as a fairly developmental option for students to gain experience, do real project-based work, without having to satisfy prerequisites for skills."
Through this seven-week program, 100 students collaborated with marketers from Snap Inc to develop their marketing skillsets by analyzing qualitative data, uncovering insights and social media trends. In addition, students went behind the scenes to view the process for pitching marketing campaigns to brands like HBO, Amazon, and Chevrolet.
Paragon One co-creates externship experiences with each hosting company – the outcomes, the training, the meeting agendas – it’s carefully crafted by both companies. The Paragon One team will manage your Weekly Meetings, Company Meetings, and additional support and feedback.
All externships take 10-15 hours each week to be successful in the program. This encompasses the time spent learning and completing training, researching, and attending meetings. All externships are 6-8 weeks long. Be sure to check each program for its duration.
Like in professional roles, all your interactions with a company are networking. Networking is about building relationships and trust. Each Company Meeting is an opportunity to impress them and increase their perception of you as an extern. After you complete the program, we compile all the information about you and your work and share it with Host Companies so they can review students and reach out, respectively. Top students get additional opportunities to present their work and have follow-up discussions with company leads.
Yes, you can. Remember that credit-bearing policies vary from institution to institution, so while we can support you to receive credit, you will want to check with your advisor or dean for approval first.
