Dear students,

I’m writing to let you know about Ladders for Leaders, a program that offers a lot of opportunities for college students. NYC Ladders for Leaders is a nationally recognized program that offers outstanding college students the opportunity to participate in paid professional summer internships with leading corporations, non-profit organizations, and government agencies in New York City.

The Ladders for Leaders application season has just opened for this summer’s program:

They haven’t listed a deadline on the site, but my suggestion is to apply early. If you decide to apply, I encourage you to make an appointment with a counselor in the Career Center. They can really help you make the most o your application materials. 

Remember, an internship is a route to finding employment (and better pay) after college.

Sincerely,
