QUEENS COLLEGE–On Feb. 4, the City University of New York announced its newest internship collaboration with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority which aims to provide full-time, paid internship opportunities for CUNY students during the summer of 2025.
With this new internship program, students have the opportunity to experience what it’s like to work with the largest public transit authority in the United States in a wide range of job sectors across all MTA agencies including New York City Transit, Metro-North Railroad, Long Island Railroad, Construction & Development and Bridges and Tunnels.
The continued partnership between CUNY and the MTA which started in 2022, has resulted in the MTA hiring 52 interns into full-time roles across all agencies. Students who volunteer in full-time positions during the summer are given the opportunity to transition into part-time roles during the school year once their summer internships are completed.
“CUNY’s internship program with the MTA, bringing together the nation’s largest urban public university and the nation’s largest transportation network, provides students invaluable work experience while supporting a system so central to all our lives,” CUNY Chancellor Félix V. Matos Rodríguez said in a press release.
