Does CUNY have experience running internship programs?
CUNY has run several very successful internship programs in conjunction with other New York City agencies. Since 2000, CUNY has had a program dedicated to providing IT interns to the Human Resource Administration, and in 2003 we launched another program to serve all other city agencies. Each year we place about 250 students, many of whom go on to be hired for full-time positions by their respective agencies, including 18 students that have been hired by DOE Central or a school since we began working with the DOE in 2005.
