SUNY Levin Institute

JumpStart NYC is a proven, three-month educational program to help out-of-work, mid-career professionals apply their knowledge, skills, and abilities in opportunities at small, entrepreneurial companies. JumpStart NYC is open to all unemployed professionals who have a minimum of a 4-year college degree and who reside in New York City.

Watch this segment about JumpStart NYC from the CBS Evening News.

One of Mayor Bloomberg’s initiatives to boost the New York City economy, JumpStart NYC has been successfully delivered ten times and has helped participants develop new skills, sample the environment at small entrepreneurial companies/non-profits, build new career networks, and explore project opportunities in New York’s entrepreneurial firms and arts organizations – including New York City's budding "green" sector – in many cases creating new career paths and opportunities.

JumpStartNYC was initiated by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC). Its courses, events, and seminars were developed by The Levin Institute (SUNY), and there's no cost to you.
