General Description
CUNY Career Launch
This summer, thousands of CUNY students will prepare their careers by interning in a job related to their major and that requires a college degree. A new initiative will recruit students from throughout CUNY who haven’t had substantial paid professional experience but who are ambitious, bright, and ready to practice what they are learning in the classroom in the work world. The goal is to better position them for entry into the labor market while promoting their long-term success.
Interns will have the opportunity to build skills, extend their professional networks, add valuable experience to their resumes, and contribute to employers throughout NYC in several key industries, such as education, healthcare, and government. Employers will benefit from CUNY students’ many talents and knowledge.
This new initiative will be coordinated in CUNY’s Central Office of Academic Affairs and implemented in 5 CUNY colleges.
