Position Openings and Applications

Externship/Job Shadowing Program


Please review the list of Explore the WOW! sponsors above to determine which ones you are interested in. Then, fill out the application form in its entirety, including ranking your top externship placement choices and return the application form to the Career Center. Methods for returning the application include email, fax, in-person, or mail.

PLEASE NOTE: Try to include 3 choices for possible externship placements; however, DO NOT include a choice on your list that you are not willing to commit to if assigned. Every effort will be made to match you to your top choice, but sponsors have the final say in most cases.
