Year Up United's mission is to close the Opportunity Divide by ensuring that young adults gain the skills, experiences, and support that will empower them to reach their potential through careers and higher education.
- Internships are six months in duration.
- Cohorts typically start the last week of January and July.
- We start taking requests for interns in September for the January cohort, and in March for the July cohort. The call for interest/requests will be disseminated via the CIO Council, Campus IT Leaders, the UIT Newsletter, and Slack channels.
- Stanford departments make a financial investment in Year Up United, on a per intern basis, commensurate with entry-level talent costs. The current fees are
$39,450 $25,000 (for Data Analytics, IT Helpdesk, Project Management and Business Operations). Please reach out if you are interested in sponsoring an Application Development intern and we will get back to you with pricing. - Interns work up to 36 hours per week because they have additional programming at Year Up United on Wednesday afternoons.
- Interns can be hybrid, on-site or fully remote depending on your group's needs.
- The hosting team is responsible for providing laptop and accessories for the intern. (UIT has a dedicated pool of laptops for UIT interns. Other departments may also.)
“Year Up enables young adults to move from minimum wage to meaningful careers in just one year.”
