CUNY-Sponsored Paid Internship Programs

CUNY Internship Programs collaborate with New York City agencies, boards, and commissions to provide CUNY students with internships in tech, engineering, public health, finance, business and other sectors. For nearly two decades, interns have been hired by their agencies through this program, some moving into leadership positions where they oversee current CUNY interns.
