The Fleishman Career Center is committed to fostering a more equitable future through career education and creating transformative opportunities. Many of our funds and programs are supported by our generous donors, who have been instrumental in supporting the success of our students.
Internship Funds
Internships are valuable experiences that increase career-readiness in students and often lead to full-time job opportunities, but unpaid or low paying internships are not accessible to students with financial need. Internship funding helps bridge the equity gap by providing supplemental funding to students in need to help cover costs of living while they are completing a summer internship. Every year, about 50 students are able to complete summer internships thanks to this funding and generous support from donors.

Professional Development Fund
The Professional Development Fund enables students to engage in various professional development activities, such as attending conferences and networking events, purchasing professional attire, and preparing for graduate school admission exams. By removing financial obstacles, this fund provides students the necessary resources to thrive in their pursuits. Your support enables us to eliminate barriers and foster a more inclusive environment for our student body.

CONNECT Program
The CONNECT program takes students to different cities across the United States with large pockets of Binghamton alumni for Employer Treks (visits to notable employers at their local office locations) and Networking Nights with local alumni. Students who participate in this program are able to explore careers, grow their professional networks in cities of interest, and develop professionally. They also gain valuable insight that is helpful for job and internship applications. To ensure financial need is not a barrier to participation, the program provides support for transportation and lodging to select cities.
