CUNY students access dream jobs via JPMorgan NYC initiative

The New York Jobs CEO Council was recently featured on Pix 11 News with Monica Morales, highlighting our impact in placing over 52,000 New Yorkers into well-paying roles. JPMorgan Chairman and CEO, Jamie Dimon shared how the organization came to be and the importance of engaging CEOs to lead from the top down when it comes to local hiring initiatives. The piece also featured our Executive Director, Kiersten Barnet, CUNY Chancellor Felix V. Matos Rodríguez, and talent success story and JPMorgan Chase Analyst, MD Miah discussed how partnerships with strategic leaders like CUNY are essential in connecting students to the skills, resources, and opportunities that launch them into in-demand careers.

MD Miah’s journey from intern to full-time analyst exemplifies the power of the Jobs Council network in preparing talent for success. Beyond this, our collaborations with Handshake provide seamless access to networking and job opportunities, while our work with NYC Public Schools supports students earlier in the education pipeline.
