New Haven Promise Hosts 12th Annual Internship & Career Fair

Thursday, January 9, 2025, the Commons at Yale’s Schwarzman Center buzzed with excitement as New Haven Promise hosted its 12th Annual Internship & Career Fair. This signature event provided a dynamic platform for Promise Scholars and Alumni to connect with potential internship and employment opportunities.

The New Haven Hiring Initiative, a premier partner, played a pivotal role, coordinating the participation of 30 Yale departments and over 100 managers. These representatives engaged with enthusiastic candidates eager to take their next steps in their professional journeys. Managers left inspired by the talent and promise of the attendees and are excited to welcome these exceptional candidates to their teams.

The Fair exemplifies the spirit of collaboration that defines New Haven. This year, Promise welcomed 11 new hiring entities alongside long-time partners. Notable organizations included American Cruise Lines, The Arts Council of Greater New Haven, Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater New Haven, Carmody Torrance Sandak & Hennessey LLP, City of New Haven, City of New Haven Economic Development, ClimateHaven, Elm City Communities, and Hopkins School, among others.

As the matching process begins, the future looks bright for New Haven Promise Scholars. We look forward to another successful summer and continued partnerships that empower scholars to achieve their career goals and ambitions.
