The one-year internship program for young adults (18-26) includes a 6-month intensive technical accelerator, where interns prepare for the workforce.

The mission of the internship program is to bridge the opportunity gap by ensuring young adults gain the skills, experiences, and support that will empower them to reach their potential in their careers and higher education.

BNP Paribas believes that developing early talent is the future, and is dedicated to cultivating an environment of knowledge, sharing and collaboration. With close to 4,000 employees in the greater New York area, this is one of many initiatives demonstrating BNP Paribas’ commitment to the local community.
