Work-Based Learning That Scales With Your Vision

Traditional work-based learning is built on a model of scarcity and exclusion. We're building the alternative. Work Sprints are a flexible, powerful ecosystem of experiences designed to scale from a single cohort to a campus-wide culture of career readiness.

  • Beyond the Limits of the Internship

    For decades, meaningful work-based learning has been limited to the few who can secure—and afford—a traditional internship. This creates a bottleneck for institutions and an equity gap for students. The logistical burden of sourcing, managing, and scaling these opportunities prevents educators from embedding vital real-world experience across the curriculum. The result is a disconnect between academic achievement and career readiness.

  • An Ecosystem, Not a Single Pathway

    Nexgen provides a strategic toolkit. Our Work Sprints are designed as a modular ecosystem that adapts to your specific pedagogical goals and institutional structure. Instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all program, we empower you to co-design and deploy a spectrum of work-based learning experiences. This flexible framework allows you to deliver authentic, employer-driven projects for every student, at any scale.
