Reframe

Reframe gives students the opportunity to acquire real work experience in professional settings through paid internships.  Since the start of this program in 2000, over 180 six-week internships opportunities have been provided. In 2012, UYI launched its year-round Work Program for in-school and out-of-school youth ages 15 to 24.

During the program, students will attend workshops and trainings on topics such as workplace etiquette, professional speaking, dressing for success, interviewing techniques, standing out as an employee and more.  These workshops aren’t put on just by anyone – students have learned from CEOs of major companies, successful entrepreneurs and self-made millionaires.  Students also meet professionals in a variety of fields giving them the opportunity to ask questions about the career and its required preparation, challenges and rewards.

Work Program applications are available April 17th.
