However, as a part of the City University of New York (CUNY) network, the School has encountered the same broader challenges that CUNY as a whole faces when it comes to offering internships and job placement for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cuny.edu\/about\/administration\/offices\/ocip\/partners\/inclusive-economy-initiative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CUNY Inclusive Economy Initiative<\/a> (CIE) was launched to address these challenges, specifically targeting undergrads in the BSIS major at CUNY SPS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CIE is a public-private initiative with an initial investment of $13 million, and CUNY SPS is one of the nine campuses selected to participate in it. With only 66% of CUNY bachelor&#8217;s recipients being employed after one year of graduation, the CIE&#8217;s goal is to increase that figure to 80% by 2030, while also fueling 20,000 businesses with CUNY talent and expertise. For each campus, the initiative offers support from an industry specialist who collaborates with employers, alongside a dedicated career advisor who oversees the cohort of students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CIE initiative at CUNY SPS is led by the BSIS department. The initiative leader for the CIE, <a href=\"https:\/\/sps.cuny.edu\/about\/directory\/arthur.oconnor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Arthur O&#8217;Connor<\/a>, also serves as the academic director of the BSIS major here at CUNY SPS. Working with Dr. O&#8217;Connor are <a href=\"https:\/\/sps.cuny.edu\/about\/directory\/jason.bryer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Jason Bryer<\/a>, the academic department associate director, and <a href=\"https:\/\/sps.cuny.edu\/about\/directory\/anne-marie.machado\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anne Marie&nbsp;Machado<\/a>, assistant director. Lastly, joining them is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/altin-h-17390714\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Altin Halilaj<\/a>, the tech sector-specific industry specialist, with 10 years under his belt working for the non-profit Upwardly Global as a talent advisor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1018\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2023\/06\/thumbnail_Altin-1024x1018.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2023\/06\/thumbnail_Altin-1024x1018.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2023\/06\/thumbnail_Altin-300x298.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2023\/06\/thumbnail_Altin-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2023\/06\/thumbnail_Altin-768x764.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2023\/06\/thumbnail_Altin-1536x1527.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2023\/06\/thumbnail_Altin-1870x1859.jpeg 1870w, https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2023\/06\/thumbnail_Altin-400x398.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2023\/06\/thumbnail_Altin-800x795.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/openlab.sps.cuny.edu\/the-kiosk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2023\/06\/thumbnail_Altin.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Altin Halilaj, industry specialist for the CIE initiative<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I was so drawn by the mission of this initiative and the fact that CUNY students are not the most privileged ones,\u201d Halilaj said. \u201cNot only hitting the goals, but I would just feel like &#8216;Yep, I am doing something for the community and our students.'&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Halilaj\u2019s role involves reaching out to employers for job openings and internships for students, as well as establishing relationships with recruiters and hiring managers. At the same time, he is looking to facilitate industry department collaboration through hackathons, talk panels, discussions, advisory boards, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first info session for students about the program was held on May 15, with approximately 30 students in attendance. &#8220;Well, that&#8217;s our challenge at the moment\u2014to get students more engaged in it\u2026 Hopefully, there is a large audience out there and they know who to contact,&#8221; Halilaj shared.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the info session, Halilaj and his department colleagues emphasized that this opportunity was not simply the generic <a href=\"https:\/\/sps.cuny.edu\/student-services\/career-services#:~:text=At%20Career%20Services%20we%20assist,development%20and%20career%20assessment%20needs.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Student Career Services<\/a> provided at CUNY SPS, but rather an actual job placement program looking to match student qualifications and certifications with employer hiring needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team has already begun data collection on students, requesting information about their prior experiences, education, and skills related to their desired tech field. The career advisor will be working specifically with each student to make sure their aspirations and goals align with the job openings available. Although the career advisor role is currently vacant, the team is actively looking for someone to fill it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have also started collaborating with <a href=\"https:\/\/jobs.sap.com\/content\/internships\/?locale=en_US\">SAP<\/a>, a prominent software company, to provide <a href=\"https:\/\/jobs.sap.com\/content\/internships\/?locale=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">internship opportunities<\/a> catered specifically to BSIS undergrads at the School. Additionally, another notable event took place on May 24th, featuring panelists such as Steven Weinstein, SVP Broadridge Financial, Alain Ledonwong, Senior Software Engineer, and Garda Capital, who joined to discuss future hiring trends in the information technology field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While hosting these engaging events, Halilaj and the CIE team aim to accommodate up to 200 students during the summer, collecting their information and creating a resume bank for future opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the temporary absence of a career advisor, Halilaj expressed his eagerness to help students through the CIE initiative. &#8220;I am not afraid at all, actually\u2014I am excited about it because I want the ball to get rolled,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd it&#8217;s going to be a matter of time because in a month, we might have the career advisor. All I want is students to get engaged and just keep me busy.&#8221; He welcomed students to <a href=\"mailto:altin.halilaj@cuny.edu\">email<\/a> him with any questions about joining this program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the CIE offering many opportunities for career and academic growth, Halilaj left off with advice for students looking to take advantage of this initiative. &#8220;Be proactive, do your homework. This might sound as a cliche, but look out for all those opportunities that are out there for you\u2026 including even this initiative.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tasnia Rashid || June 7, 2023 The BS in Information Systems (BSIS) major at CUNY SPS offers a wealth of learning opportunities.
