Young Adult Internship Program
Accepting Organizational Applications to Place Interns

The Young Adult Internship Program (YAIP) is working with the city’s Department
of Youth and Community Development on a Bloomberg initiative that aids individuals
in the age range of 16-24 find 3 month placements at internship sites, followed
by assistance in finding employment or enrollment in school. These placements are
completely free of charge to your site, as the city covers the wages for the intern.
The role of your company would be to provide an environment where the intern(s)
would be able to acquire practical work experience. The intern should serve as an
employee of the company, fulfilling tasks as needed per the supervisor’s request,
withstanding any immediate harm to the intern. Upon completion of the internship,
successful candidates would be assisted in securing permanent employment and/or
enrolling in school.

YAIP is seeking businesses and other organizations to provide our participants with
meaningful internships or full time and part time placement. Intern salaries and
insurance coverage are paid for by the City of New York. Participation in YAIP will
connect your business with the emerging workforce, strengthen your ties to your
community, and enhance your profile. Choosing to hire an intern from this program
would be a great way to get some additional assistance from qualified employees,
but also to help an individual who wants to expand his or her skills. At the end
of the internship, we would hope that you would consider the individual for any
full-time opportunities, and additionally, we also currently have candidates available
for full-time job placement.
