The partnership begins! We kick off an exciting collaboration to determine your company’s specific hiring needs and how Year Up United can best help meet them. We align commitments, solidify internship roles, and build a timeline to meet your business goals.
Through Career Pathways, students complete both professional and technical skills training. Each intern is carefully assessed across multiple dimensions and matched to the company where they’ll have the best opportunity to contribute successfully.
Get valuable “try-before-you hire” experience working with potential hires. Our collaborative process includes built-in feedback points and wrap-around support from Year Up United staff that enables managers to shape each intern’s professional development and ensure their work meets the company’s standards for success.
As internship ends, you can assess if your Year Up United intern is a good fit for a full-time opportunity and hire them with no placement fee. This saves your company recruitment time and onboarding resources, and helps support professional advancement for Opportunity Talent.
