Let’s talk about the differences between a traditional internship and The Externship. I created The Externship in 2020 to help aspiring financial planners who had their internships canceled due to the pandemic. So why keep The Externship going after 2020? Because we heard about (and saw for ourselves) the unique benefits of this program! So many Externs told us how much they… - appreciated being able to learn at home on their own time. - enjoyed hearing from several different financial professionals. - could not feasibly take part in a traditional internship because of full-time jobs or caretaking responsibilities - learned by completing homework assignments pulled from real client scenarios. - loved earning 180 CFP Board Standard Pathway experience hours over the summer. There are many aspiring financial planners who don’t have the opportunities or means to complete an internship. But they can get hands-on experience, mentoring, training, and official experience hours on their own terms! That’s why we keep offering The Externship — to support as many people as possible.

As summer comes to an end and school resumes, balancing academic internships with coursework can be challenging.

Happy National Intern Day! Internships are more than just a stepping stone; they are a way of giving back and helping aspiring professionals choose the right career path. Today, I want to reflect on the importance of internships and share my personal journey. During my undergrad time, I interned with multiple businesses in real estate, banking, construction, call center startups, and business consulting. Each experience provided me with valuable insights and helped shape my understanding of various industries. One memorable internship involved working with a CPA on a groundbreaking project for the first credit card in Japan. My role was to recreate all the financial statement projections for the first five years—a six-month endeavor that taught me invaluable lessons. While I discovered my passion for working with numbers, I realized that my true calling was to work directly with people, rather than just crunching numbers in the background. Internships provide a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between the academic world and the real world. They allow individuals to gain practical experience and set realistic expectations of what a financial planner's role entails, and vice versa. To all the interns out there, your journey is just beginning, and the experiences you gather now will shape your future in incredible ways. Embrace every opportunity, learn from every challenge, and always strive to connect your academic knowledge with real-world applications.
