COMMENTS FROM EMPLOYERS:
Co-op employers talk about the internship program:
- “The quality of students provided by LaGuardia to the Human
Resources Department has been great. The department is able to
hire folks obtaining an associate’s degree and provide them with
both experience and exposure they may not be able to gain in
other organizations.”
Anthony Onesto, Director, Human Resources, FreshDirect
- “The diversity of LaGuardia’s students stands out and adds to
our organization. Participating in LaGuardia's Co-op Internship
Program is a ‘win-win’ for both employers and students.”
Sara Clough, Associate Director of External Relations, PENCIL
