Education Tips

PAID INTERNSHIP/TRAINING PROGRAM FOR YOUTH

Year Up is an intensive one-year training program for young adults ages

18 - 24 who provide Fortune 100 companies like Merrill Lynch, American Express, Lehman Brothers and Bank of America with Information Technology entry level talent. We recognize that both job skills and higher education are necessary to provide a viable path to economic self-sufficiency. Throughout the course of one year, our students earn up to 16 college credits from Pace University, learn technical and professional skills, and are placed in paid internships. Students are paid an educational stipend of $150 per week while in training and $250 per week while working at their internship.

Year Up is currently recruiting students for our next class of young professionals. We are looking for High School graduates or GED recipients, ages 18 - 24, who may not know what to do next - attend college or work full-time.
