CTE Industry Scholars for Employers

The NYC Department of Education introduces career and technical education to high school students through curated curriculum, industry recognized credentialing and work-based learning activities. We offer a variety of programming opportunities for students to engage with industry professionals in both in person and virtual environments. Students who complete CTE Programs are better prepared to make informed college and career decisions to the real-world experiences they receive in high school.

Host Student Interns Today!

"We had never taken on high school interns before and didn’t quite know what to expect. We were blown away. Abdellah and Joeli presented to the whole company on their internship experience on their second to last day and my colleagues keep coming to me saying how impressed they were. We are so grateful to be part of this program and to have had the chance to work with some individuals with exciting futures ahead of them. We would most definitively like to stay involved the program."

“It was such a pleasure to participate in your program. Your interns did a commendable job. The evaluation couldn’t capture all the great skills the interns demonstrated. They were self- directed, adaptable and dependable. They were both offered per diem work if their schedule allows. Count on us next summer!”

Host an Intern, Gain a Helping Hand

The CTE Industry Scholars Program engages promising students whose rigorous technical education, integrated work experiences, and personal motivation set them apart. Through their CTE studies, students take industry-specific courses, gain recognized skills and certifications, and demonstrate genuine interest, passion, and dedication through their specialization. Throughout the internship program, students will also be provided with ongoing support, including skills and job readiness training, to ensure their success

Strengthen NYC’s Future Workforce

The CTE Industry Scholars Program partners with leading industry organizations and provides them with the opportunity to not only help build the future of NYC’s workforce, but also gain CTE students’ technical skills for their business needs during a six-week long internship. We invite you to join this community of industry leaders in providing NYC’s CTE students from across the five boroughs with exposure to work experiences that complement their studies and career goals.
