Job Description
General Description
The Community & Social Services Hub at Queens College/CUNY seeks a supportive, flexible, and detail-oriented professional to serve as an Administrative Coordinator for large-scale internship programs for CUNY students. The Administrative Coordinator will be directly involved in program planning and implementation. Our programs are fast-paced and require strong attention to detail, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
About the Program
Career Launch and Spring Forward are two CUNY-wide internship initiatives that recruit students from throughout CUNY who have not had substantial paid professional experience but who are ambitious, bright, and ready to apply what they are learning in the classroom in the professional world. Four CUNY college campuses serve as industry hubs; each hub specializes in internship placements within New York City’s key sectors: Community & Social Services, Healthcare, STEM & Green, and Marketing & Communications. Students apply to their hub of choice and once accepted, explore their careers by interning in a job related to their major that requires a college degree. The hub matches students to their designated worksites and manages relationships between student interns and employers. Interns can build skills, extend their professional networks, add to their resumes, and contribute to employers. Employer partners benefit from CUNY students’ many talents and knowledge.
The Queens College Experiential Education office oversees the Community & Social Services Hub. This Hub focuses on internships in mission-driven, community-based nonprofit organizations and government offices that serve New York City residents and improve the lives of individuals, families, and local communities.
