City Internships

Nine Years, One Thousand Stories

In the six years since CI’s launch in 2011, we have helped launch more than a thousand careers.

We’ve grown from one city to twenty; we’ve grown from exclusively financial services to an additional eight industries; we’ve gone from one program to three program types and now, we’ve rebranded from City Internships to CI.

Right out of the gate, thanks to our focus on partnering with host companies committed to influencing the development of the next generation of graduates and our practice-over-theory coaching style, more than 65% of our students were hired straight out of the program by their host companies. The third that didn't take up graduate jobs with their host companies, successfully leveraged their experience on the program to secure careers with other desirable employers.

We boast a powerful track-record in
positively dramatically influencing the
career trajectories of our students.

Our alumni get hired three times more quickly, (2.5 versus 7.5 months)*

And earn 30 per cent more ($47,000 versus $36,000) straight out of college*.

*Compared with US and UK national averages.
