Students can choose to intern in a field of their choice, from a wide range of industries including machine learning, AI, technology, medicine, health tech, business, finance, media, journalism, and more.

Ladder internships are designed to enable students to work closely with a manager from the startup, along with guidance from a Ladder Coach, who serves as a second mentor. During the internship, you will work on real-world projects that contribute to the organization’s larger goal, and present your work at the end of the program. The program also provides one-on-one training in communication, time management, and more, along with group sessions with fellow interns.
