Companies
Here’s a secret: 70-80% of the job
market is hidden – that is, it’s never
posted publicly. The vast majority
of hiring is done by friends and
acquaintances hiring other trusted
friends and acquaintances. One of
the greatest advantages of going
to King’s, therefore, is the diverse
professional network you can build
during your four years here.
Most of that large network comes
from the growing alumni population
working in New York City. Over 58%
of the Class of 2015 stayed in the
New York City area after graduation,
marking an increase over the Class
of 2014 by 10%. Here’s where some

Internships
At King’s, we have a bias toward action that encourages
students to explore their fields of interest in practice. As we
say, the classroom is where you learn ideas and theories,
but the city is the laboratory where you put those to the
test. Therefore, in addition to meeting with an OVCD career
coach, students are encouraged to build their way forward
through prototypes – from informational interviews to marketplace visits to internships – so they can try out careers before
they graduate and enter the workforce. Here are some of the
internships students have had in the past year:
