ABT delivers practice-focused programs throughout the year that prepare students for competitive internships and real workplace environments.
From application coaching and professional readiness training to job shadowing and employer engagement, our model ensures students enter internships prepared and employers receive motivated, skilled interns.
ABT focuses on the subset of students seeking competitive, career-aligned summer internships (NYC SYEP Ladders for Leaders), and students who will benefit from curated on-ramps to college majors and careers.
ABT’s seasonal boot camps (the fall/winter NYC SYEP L4L Application Boot Camp and the spring Pre-Professional Summer Work Readiness Boot Camp) create a reliable, equity-focused pipeline into Ladders for Leaders and other high-quality internships. By supporting application completion, interview readiness, and on-the-job behavior and digital skills before placements begin, donors help convert short-term summer work into durable college and career advantage.
In the second year of operation, ABT’s NYC SYEP Ladders for Leaders Application Boot Camp had a 150% increase in workshops, 153% increase in applications submitted, and a 525% increase in Acceptances/Applications Under Further Review or Waitlisted
These initiatives provide mentorship, career exposure, and real-world preparation that help high school juniors and seniors explore professional paths and access meaningful internship opportunities.
