Career and Internship Services

Dream big. Broaden your network. Take the next step in your professional journey.

FIT connects students, alumni, and industry professionals throughout the business and creative industries. Through Career and Internship Services (CIS), students and alumni can access a wide range of real-world employment opportunities plus the resources needed to prepare for and thrive in their chosen fields. Internship sponsors and employers can find tomorrow’s change makers and create lasting connections with FIT.

If you’re a student seeking an internship or a job, an alum looking for new career opportunities, or an employer scouting talent to help your organization reach new heights, CIS can help.

Available to all students and free to alumni for life, our services include career counseling, seminars, career fairs, and more.

Get your foot in the door at iconic brands across industries, from Nike to Disney to the American Museum of Natural History and many more. Our internships are rigorously vetted to ensure quality and educational value. While you do your internship you’ll also take an Internship Studies class to make sure you get the most out of your experience.

By sponsoring an intern, your organization can discover new talent, get fresh ideas from motivated students, and help train the workforce of the future.

Experience That Matters

In a typical year, two-thirds of FIT students graduate with an internship under their belt. This real-world experience gives them a competitive edge in the industry.

During my internship, I was able to bring a more critical eye to my copywriting assignments at FIT because I was already learning what works for clients in the real world.
