If you have any questions regarding the process, email Careerlaunchemployer@cuny.edu
Thank you for your interest in partnering with CUNY Career Launch!
All prospective employers should designate a main contact at the organization to serve as a liaison and enter job postings. All job postings (AKA 'opportunities') are submitted via InPlace, the CUNY Career Launch database. Your employer application is not fully complete until your job postings are entered! Please see below for full instructions on completing this process.
Please note: if you were a previous employer with Career Launch, Spring Forward, Cultural Corps or Internship 2 Employment, your organization already has an InPlace account and you should skip the first step. If you are not sure if you have an existing account, email Careerlaunchemployer@cuny.edu.
To see full details for each step, click the dropdown arrow.
New employers, who have not previously access InPlace, should fill out the following registration form to have an account created for your organization: InPlace Registration Form
If your organization participated in Spring Forward, Career Launch or Cultural Corps, please skip this step! Your organization already has an account.
If your organization has an account but you have not accessed it before, please email careerlaunchemployer@cuny.edu and we will send you log-in credentials.
Please note: on the registration form, under "Select Disciplines..." the system automatically has all industries selected, please click "uncheck all" and then select the industry hubs that you plan to submit job opportunities in.
Please allow up to 48 hours for your registration to be reviewed and processed. Once approved, you will receive an email with log-in credentials and you can continue with steps 2 and 3 below.

Additional Information & Helpful Tips
Be as specific as possible when describing job tasks! Interns will view these job postings and rank their favorites before receiving a match.
Priority consideration will be given to employers who are able to accomodate at least 3 students.
Job tasks should require a college degree and provide a meaningful experience for both your organization and the intern.

You can view/edit your submitted job postings by clicking the "Opportunities" tab on the home page.
CUNY Career Launch staff will review applications and send out decisions in early April.
