The
Illini Externship program was created
in 1994 as a way to bring University
of Illinois alumni and students
together in the workplace. Alumni
and friends act as sponsors and
students shadow them in their fields
of interest. Externs gain valuable
hands-on experience by learning
what isn't available in a classroom
setting. Sponsors benefit from the
opportunity to guide future professionals
and see some of the University's
best and brightest students before
other companies begin recruiting
them.
Externships run for two to five
days during the University's spring
break, and students are usually
matched with sponsors in their hometown
or surrounding area. Freshmen, sophomores
and juniors of all majors are encouraged
to apply. Externships are available
in a broad range of fields, including
(but not limited to) business, communications,
law, medicine, government, education
and social services. Externs are
responsible for all expenses, including
housing, meals and transportation.
In October 2005, the Illini Externship
program was highlighted by the National
Association of Colleges and Employers
(NACE) as a "best practice"
model.
