About Delex

Overview

The Delbarton Externship Program (“DelEX”) creates an opportunity for rising seniors to connect with alumni and parents, explore career opportunities, and extend learning beyond school boundaries.

• Selected alumni and parents of alumni in private enterprise or public service offer brief training programs to students at the end of the school year (typically late May and June).
• Students “shadow” hosts during the program, sit in on meetings, work on projects, and network with professionals. 
• DelEX is an opportunity for students to get a first-hand view of a professional environment, a typical workday, and real-life challenges.
