Internship/Training Program for Youth

Year Up is an intensive one-year training program for young adults
ages 18 to 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. For more information on Year Up, please

specialist, Wil Velazquez, please call 212-785-3340, ext. 1304 or e-
