Since launching The Externship four years ago, we’ve heard from both large and small firms that they want to make their summer interns’ experiences meaningful, but they often don’t have the curriculum, time or personnel to truly invest in their internship programs.
To support firms in training the next generation of talent, Amplified Planning has created the Internship/Externship Program.
The Internship/Externship Program provides the tools for firms to use The Externship as a framework for their existing summer internship programs.
How the Internship/Externship Program Works:
1. You utilize our guides and tools to set up and map out your interns’ summer internship.
2. Your Interns spend part of their workdays participating in the 8-week Externship program. They receive a certificate after completing each week’s curriculum, which you may request.
3. You can use our prompts to create in-house learning opportunities that complement The Externship and enhance your interns’ experience.
4. You all have a valuable internship experience!
As part of the program, your receive the Financial Advisory Firm Toolkit with:
✔️BEST-PRACTICE CHECKLISTS – We identify the experiences and skills your interns need to learn, and how and when you should introduce them.
