The Pinkerton Papers:

Work-based Learning

The summer between high school graduation and the start of college is a significant but often overlooked moment, especially for students from low-income households and those who are the first in their families to attend college. Removed from the structured and supportive environment of high school, overwhelmed with questions about their futures, and armed only with a hazy vision of what college entails, many recent graduates can face barriers that disrupt their college plans before college even begins.

Supporting career internships has long been at the heart of The Pinkerton Foundation’s mission to help level the playing field for young New Yorkers.
