Welcome

The SOAR Experiential Learning Program gives employers the opportunity to hire talent, at no cost to your organization. Students work an average of 10 hours per week for 10-12 weeks per semester and are paid by the college.
Student interns across all our experiential learning programs are eager to learn new skills and gain useful work experience. The CCPD offers training to all interns to ensure they are prepared to provide your organization support.
What students can do for your organization:
- Offer new ideas and fresh perspectives.
- Lend capacity to your team for short-term projects
- Provide skills, experience, and support that you need
- Build awareness about your organization within LaGuardia Community College, the largest talent pipeline in NYC
- Help your staff build supervisory and mentoring skills
