Careers at RFCUNYJob Openings

CUNY Career Launch 

This summer, thousands of CUNY students will prepare their careers by interning in a job related to their major and that requires a college degree. A new initiative will recruit students from throughout CUNY who haven’t had substantial paid professional experience but who are ambitious, bright, and ready to practice what they are learning in the classroom in the work world. The goal is to better position them for entry into the labor market while promoting their long-term success. 

Interns will have the opportunity to build skills, extend their professional networks, add valuable experience to their resumes, and contribute to employers throughout NYC in several key industries, such as education, healthcare, and government. Employers will benefit from CUNY students’ many talents and knowledge. 

This new initiative will be coordinated in CUNY’s Central Office of Academic Affairs and implemented in 5 CUNY colleges.

CUNY Career Launch - Public Engagement Unit (PEU) 

New York City of Technology (City Tech) wil serve as the lead on the Career Launch partnership between the Public Engagement Unit of the Mayor’s Office and CUNY. Career Launch PEU internships give CUNY students a chance to improve New York City’s future one person at a time. To create healthy, caring, and resilient communities, students will conduct proactive outreach to vulnerable New Yorkers in the community and connect them to important government benefits and neighborhood resources. While making a difference in the lives of fellow New Yorkers, students also gain real-world experience and expand their transferable job skills such as leadership, communication, and confidence.
