Matt Wilkerson is the CEO and co-founder of Extern, a company on a mission to help anyone discover and launch their career through real professional experiences. Extern has created externships for leading companies such as AT&T, HSBC, Meta, PwC, Home Depot, and National Geographic, serving more than 35,000 students and career switchers.

In this episode, I talk with Matt about the externship model and its impact. Matt shares his journey from growing up in Atlanta, to attending MIT, and eventually founding Extern. He discusses the challenges students face in gaining practical work experience, particularly in the current landscape where traditional internships are becoming more scarce. We also discuss broader issues in higher education, such as the misalignment between academic training and real-world job requirements, and how Extern’s model seeks to reimagine the pathway from education to employment.
