Content Information

Externship is a tool to assist candidates in preparing themselves for employment in a competitive work environment. Externship is a training program in which the business partner provides direct hands-on training to a candidate at the employer’s site, doing a job that would not displace another worker. This includes work experience, one on one training, work tryouts, etc. The CRP is the employer on record.
