In addition to our in house 12 week client clinic/internship, we also offer an externship portion to the program.  This externship portion allows Greenville Tech to partner with local fitness and wellness businesses to offer the students on the job experience and training in a professional environment prior to entering into the working profession. In SFT 202 which offers the externship, each student is required to complete a 75 hour externship for graduation. We have found the externship portion of the program to be the students first "foot in the door" opportunity before graduation. It is not uncommon for the student to be offered a job by an externship partner prior to their graduation. This has been a testament to the professional preparation of the student and the  experienced value placed upon the externs by those offering them employment.
