City Internships Programs
CI is an early-career accelerator. They are partnered with traditional educators and leading companies to close the skills gap that is leaving entry-level jobs unfilled and half of graduates under-employed.
Since 2011, their structured outcomes-focused programs combine work- based practical training, class-based seminars and workshops, and hands-on coaching. They equip graduates with the skills, experience and links to employers necessary to launch successful careers in today’s evolving and competitive employment landscape.
CI creates globally engaged, career-ready graduates. Upon college graduation, CI alumni secure meaningful employment three-times faster with starting salaries 30% higher than their peers.
City Internships Programs
3 program formats. 9 career fields. 20 cities.
For 2020, CI offers programs in three formats.
Global Accelerator Program (GAP) is their flagship experience. It is an 8-week summer-only program delivered in London and New York. All students attend an 8-week placement with a leading employer in their chosen career field. And students may participate in the GAP program on a resident or non-resident ("commuter") attendee.
All GAP students undertake a cohort-based "Career Navigator" and "Business Leaders" course of seminars and workshops developed, respectively, to maximize students' career-readiness and commercial awareness. Our on-the-ground coaches and mentors use productive struggle to challenge and support students in equal measure, facilitating the self-discovery of career preferences, strengths and potential.
Global Explorer Program (GEP) offers a more customizable experience. Students may undertake a 6 to 12 week program (with corresponding-length internship placement in their chosen career field), in one of 20 cities, and at at any time of year (programs commence on a rolling monthly basis). All GEP students undertake a personalized, online version of our prized Career Navigator and Business leaders courses. All GEP students also enjoy regular access to career coaches and ongoing guidance.
Remote Program (RP) is new for 2020 and offers an experience yielding the benefits of a structured and well-managed remote internship placement, without the logistical and financial overhead associated with relocating elsewhere. Like the GEP, students may undertake a 6 to 12 week program (with corresponding-length internship placement in their chosen career field), in one of 20
cities, and at at any time of year (programs commence on a rolling monthly basis). All RP students undertake a personalized, online version of our prized Career Navigator and Business leaders courses. All RP students also enjoy regular access to career coaches and ongoing guidance.
