Why intern in New York City?
New York is known as a hub for startups and multinational corporations alike. Many of the world’s largest organizations and financial institutions call Manhattan home. However, New York’s incredible diversity is reflected in its successful industries. Theater, fashion, art and music industries thrive in the Big Apple, and the city is also home to the United Nations, making it a key city for international relations and diplomacy. Regardless of your field of interest, New York is a strategic place to take steps towards your dream career.
New York’s growth and much of its appeal can be traced to its rich history of accepting diverse cultures. Built on the hard work and ambitions of immigrants seeking a better life, New York City has become a global economic and cultural powerhouse. Birthplace to famous politicians, businessmen, actors, and bankers, New York has made a name as an international hub for multiple industries and pursuits.
