PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Year Up partners with an impressive group of more than 160 leading companies to provide internships to its students. These internships are full time, entry-level positions for 26 weeks in one of two areas:
  • Desktop Support/IT Helpdesk
  • Investment Operations

WHY HIRE A YEAR UP INTERN?
Year Up participants are pre-screened and pre-trained and are a great way to assess entry-level talent before hiring. Prior to internships, all Year Up students have completed six months of rigorous technical training and classes in professional skill development including: effective communication, project management and leadership.

  2. Reduced Training Time - our curriculum covers the most useful technical and professional skills with industry experts as teachers and mentors.
  3. Zero Placement Fees - pay no placement fees to hire an intern - only competitive rates for their internship.
Leverage Customized Training

  2. Cultural Fit - we take the time to understand your culture and make the best match for your company.

"Our Year Up hires are very polished and very eager to learn. They have a very positive attitude. (Year Up) takes ambitious inner city youths and shows them that through hard work and dedication, they can have a very bright and rewarding future in an industry (technology) that is in constant need of capable people. I love the concept and commend them for what they are doing. I have seen no flaws in their approach."
