Internship Opportunities

The primary goal of CUNY2X is to support students in securing internships and graduating with full-time job opportunities. We currently offer 2 growing repos of internships—one focused on software development, IT Operations and the other on data science. If you're interested, we encourage you to explore and apply to these opportunities.

To maximize your chances of landing an internship, we recommend meeting with one of our advisors. They can help you refine your resume and ensure you’re well-prepared to stand out as a candidate.

All internships are based in New York, with options for remote, hybrid, and in-person roles. The repositories are regularly updated as applications open and close, so keep an eye out for new opportunities.
