Nextern connects motivated students with internships at companies and research labs — built student-first, from day one.
As Grade 11 students in India, we searched everywhere for internships and research opportunities — and found nothing designed for us. So we built Nextern ourselves. If a school student can build this, imagine what students can do for your team.
Existing platforms like LinkedIn and Handshake are designed for corporate HR teams and experienced professionals. Students — especially school students — are an afterthought.
Professors with open research spots have no easy way to reach motivated students. Small companies want intern talent but don't have recruiters. Everyone loses.
Students waste hours across dozens of job boards with no curation.
Complex profiles, corporate sign-ups, and paywalls block students out.
Professors with open lab spots have no channel to reach students.
One platform. Every opportunity. Built the way students actually think.
Companies and professors post one opportunity — no fees, no long forms, no friction whatsoever.
Motivated students find your role through Nextern's curated, student-friendly feed with smart matching.
No middlemen. Students apply, you review their full profile, and reach out to the ones you like.
Early partners get free lifetime access to every feature we build. First 15 spots only.
School or college — Nextern is the only platform built with you in mind from day one.
Stop paying for job boards that don't reach the right people. Nextern connects you directly with motivated student talent.
I spent months looking for a meaningful internship as a school student. Every platform was built for someone older, someone with more experience, someone with a bigger network. So I built the platform I wished had existed.
Whether you're a company, a professor, or a student — we'd love to have you from day one. Or just email us at:
