There is no better way to understand a job than by actually doing it. And that’s exactly what this program offers: a chance to do meaningful hands-on work in the field you choose, while developing key networking contacts. You’ll be mentored by an accomplished professional who has helped select you on the basis of your application.

A Julian Krinsky summer internship will let you explore your career interests, gather important references for college, make lifelong friends, and gain a sense of independence and responsibility. Career Builders is your chance to find out what professional life is all about. It lets you work in the business so you can decide — based on your experience — whether you want to spend your college years preparing for it.

Depending on your chosen field, you will spend several fascinating weeks working in an office, lab, studio, museum, behind the microphone or on the stage. You might be interning with a lawyer, marketing a product, shadowing a doctor, assisting a vet, or involved with high-profile industries such as sports management, fashion, entertainment, research, cooking and more. This is your chance to explore, discover and experience professional life firsthand, in a fast-paced, educational, fun environment.
