Panther Externship Program

We invite you to host a Florida Tech student at your local facility for a short term job shadowing program where students will be able to learn about your company and culture. This program is free for both the employer and student, can have a duration of 1 to 5 days during Spring Break, and is open to all undergraduate and graduate students.

This is an opportunity for you to brand your organization at one of the nation’s top technological institutes and identify ideal talent for your internship or professional positions.

Program Structure

We encourage you to structure a job shadowing experience that gives students a good overview of your company, the profession, and the industry. This may be accomplished by having students:

• Perform actual tasks
• Attend staff meetings
• Shadow staff members
• Interview key departmental staff
• Observe client/stakeholder interactions
• Experience employee demonstration of industry-specific software or tools
• Tour worksites

Please contact career@fit.edu if you have questions or would like to participate in this program.

Externships are typically recommended during Spring Break (March). Please provide a full description so we can match students to your requirements.
