I’ve had an amazing experience through ladder internships. Once I applied and got into this program, a company was chosen for me based on my interests. I’ve been guided by great and understanding leaders, and i’ve gained so many strong skills. One example is how much i’ve improved my public speaking through this internship. We do weekly meetings, where i’ve presented findings and research with my team.

My experience with Ladder Internship has been amazing and transformative for my career plans. Coming from a low-income background and attending a public school in the outskirts of Brazil, I never imagined I would have the opportunity to intern at an American startup. However, Ladder made it possible for me to apply my computer science skills while working with an incredible manager and a supportive team who were always attentive to my needs throughout my first professional experience. Additionally, the financial aid provided was crucial, and having a manager and team who understood that this was my first job and offered the extra support I needed has been invaluable.

Part of this exceptional Internship program and I'm very glad about it. I'm learning about a lot of things, especially working with sponsors, which will be very useful in my future career. This program taught me a lot of things so far, including communication skills and time management as well.

The best part of Ladder Internships is that I get to intern at a company of my choice. Ladder Internships was an amazing opportunity for me to find a company that I like and intern at. Their financial aid is amazing, it allowed me and many other talented kids to join for free due to our financial circumstances. The internship process is great, you have meetings with your company manager and work together to grow the company. Every week we fill out a form to Ladder Internships to keep track of our progress and to make sure we are progressing smoothly.

Fantastic Experience with Ladder Internships! I recently completed an internship through Ladder Internships, and I can't speak highly enough about the experience. From the start, the team was incredibly supportive, helping me find a placement that perfectly matched my interests and career goals. The process was smooth and well-organized, with regular check-ins to ensure everything was going well. The internship itself was outstanding. The exposure to real-world challenges was exactly what I needed to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical application. What sets Ladder Internships apart is their commitment to ensuring that interns are not just placed, but truly integrated into the company, with meaningful work and opportunities to contribute. I felt valued and part of the team from day one, and I left with a wealth of knowledge and confidence.

My experience! First of all, interview in application process was my first interview ever and turned out to be very nice and comfortable. After I got accepted, I was matched with a company where I would do my internship based on my experience and the strengths I mentioned in the interview. Then, there was onboarding-also comfortable and informative. It gave me introductory information about internship and my internship company. I'm still doing my internship and I like it! Every week I have a call with the company I'm interning for and then I fill out a form. We always keep in touch and if there are any problems you can always write about it.

Ladder provides amazing hands-on experience and tons of opportunities to work in collaboration with other interns. Mentors and other staff members are incredibly helpful and friendly, always there to make sure I don't feel lost. The onboarding process helped me to become familiar with the objectives of my internship program, so I felt confident about what I was going to do. I would absolutely recommend this program to any high schooler interested in their first internship.
