From Classroom to Career: How AOT’s 2025 Access Tech Internship Program is Powering the Future of Tech

​


​This past summer, America On Tech once again proved what’s possible when underestimated talent is given real opportunity. Through our 2025 Access Tech Internship Program, 270 students across New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami launched into paid tech internships at companies like Accenture, Brim Financial, NYC Civic Engagement Commission (CEC), Trust Point AI, and Volunteer Local.
​
      Impact at a glance:

• 270 total internships across NYC, LA, and Miami
• $1.4M+ in total wages earned
• 97% of hosts would work with their AOT intern again
• 94.7% of interns were satisfied or extremely satisfied with their experience

​These internships didn’t just build resumes—they built confidence, networks, and career-ready skills.

Real Projects. Real Impact.

Interns didn’t just observe—they contributed. One student developed an app to help New Yorkers locate voting sites during participatory budgeting. Another crafted a content calendar now powering a company’s digital outreach strategy for months ahead. Teams of interns helped implement APIs to streamline donation processes. ​From small, hyperlocal nonprofits to large, global corporations, America On Tech's interns meaningfully contributed to innovation and growth, while building critical skills to set them up for long-term success.

​Why This Matters for Employers

At a time when many companies are scaling back early talent efforts, AOT is doubling down. Our interns bring emerging tech skills, a broad range of perspectives, and an eagerness to contribute. They’re not the talent of the future—they’re the talent of right now.
​
Just ask Accenture, which has hosted over 40 AOT interns to date, with multiple hires converted to full-time roles. Or the NYC CEC, which noted that their AOT intern’s project will “continue to benefit New Yorkers long after the summer ends.”

​If your company wants to drive innovation, build a diverse talent pipeline, and make a lasting impact—AOT interns are the answer.
