AETA Externships

Like an internship, an externship is a short-term professional learning experience. But instead of completing job tasks, externs shadow professionals to learn more about the field.

AETA has created an online system to facilitate communication between AETA members and prospective externs. If you are looking for an externship position and do not see one listed in your area, please check the Membership Directory and contact individual practitioners in your area directly.
