The posting

Are you currently enrolled in a postsecondary education program (an education or training program after completing a diploma or GED)? Are you eager to make a meaningful impact in communities across the nation and gain practical experience at the same time? Join Strada Education Foundation's summer internship program and be part of a national philanthropic organization focused on better connecting education after high school to meaningful employment and economic opportunity in the U.S.

Interns may engage in hands-on experiences in innovating program design and practices in postsecondary education, grants management, research and analysis, program management, and evaluation.

Three PSE teams will be hosting interns this summer:

  • Postsecondary Initiatives: The intern will support projects that span Strada’s focus areas, including the Career Outcomes Initiative and other work that draws on multiple areas of the organization’s expertise.
  • Quality Coaching: The intern will support efforts to ensure everyone receives coaching to map out their career and educational pathways.
  • Research: The intern will support postsecondary education research to produce actionable insights that advance the connections between education and opportunity.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
