INTERNSHIP ATTAINMENT FOR CCNY BRAVEN 2024 GRADUATES COMPARED TO 48% OF PEERS NATIONALLY
New York City’s unmatched energy, economy, industry and spirit of innovation and expression make it a center of opportunity for rising talent. Home to the highest-revenue Fortune 500 companies in the nation, the city is filled with organizations seeking skilled and driven graduates ready to make an impact.
Through partnerships with The City College of New York (CCNY) and the University of Mount Saint Vincent (UMSV), Braven is expanding its reach across the region to help students access these opportunities—and prepare to lead New York’s future workforce.
The City College of New York (CCNY) is known for both its affordability and its strong academic experience, and we were proud to launch a partnership with the college in the spring of 2023.
The education researchers at Degree Choices have placed CCNY as 1st nationally for economic “return on investment” for students. We believe our partnership will drive even greater economic mobility and opportunity for their students.

As the University continues to expand its reach and impact across the city, we’re proud to partner with UMSV to help students strengthen their skills, build professional networks, and launch meaningful careers or graduate study.
