CMC President Hiram Chodosh was interviewed by Fortune magazine for an article featuring CMC’s “heroic” effort to meet the needs of their 2020 graduates, who were facing the “worst career environment” that college students “have faced since the Great Depression.”
CMC expanded its robust internship program, accomplishing something “unprecedented.”
“We’re expanding our internship program into the immediate postgraduate environment,” Chodosh said. Thanks to “a very generous anonymous donor,” Chodosh explained that 2020 grads would be eligible for a summer of training in high-value skills and potentially for financial support in low-paid or unpaid work—à la internships—until next June, up to $10,000 per quarter. As Chodosh told the class of 2020, “This funding will enable you to work for an employer who may not be able initially to hire you.”
