Internship and Job Search
The Magner Career Center offers the same key internship, job and career resources available at all career centers but we are proud to go above and beyond to offer more:
Great Employer Connections
Employers who recruit at Brooklyn College recognize the talent, work ethic and varied experiences of students, which keeps them coming back each year. Through our fairs, internship/job database (HireBC), and events, the Magner Career Center creates a pipeline for students to connect hundreds of employers each year at organizations including Arthur Ashe Institute, BAM, Steiner Studios, Aon, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Brooklyn Navy Yard, MTA, NBC, UBS, Bloomberg, Citigroup, S&P, Jumpstart, Kings County DA's Office, New York Methodist, NYC Department of Finance, Estée Lauder, NYC DOE, Peace Corps, Google, Teach for America, KPMG, JP Morgan, Con Edison, Reading as Partners, NYC Government Agencies and more.
Strong Alumni Network
You name the company and you will find Brooklyn College alumni working there who are willing to help students. For companies that don’t directly recruit at Brooklyn College, we leverage our alumni network to open doors. Through our alumni mentor program, company visits, mentor luncheons, networking nights, and career panels, students can network with alumni to make strong professional connections.
Funding to Support Unpaid Internships
Our goal is to help students gain valuable experience while also getting paid. Although approximately half of internships are unpaid, Brooklyn College is fortunate to be among the 32% of colleges that provide stipends to students. Through our generous alumni, we have over $100,000 to give away to students each year.
Dedicated and Caring Career Staff
The staff works closely with students to provide them with the resources and tools necessary to secure valuable internships and jobs. Our goal is to have a lasting impact on each student that we work with. Since most of the staff has been at the Center for 10 or more years, we maintain lasting relationships with students long after they graduate, who then pay it forward by mentoring students, serving on a panel, donating, etc.
