Want to be successful at your upcoming internship?
The Pre-Internship Training offered on campus by the Rockefeller Center’s Management and
Leadership Development Program (MLDP) is based on the curriculum of the successful Civic Skills
Training (CST) that the Center delivers in Washington, D.C. each June for first-year students.

Participants will gain valuable workplace skills before their first day on the job. Pre-registration is
required as spaces are limited. Plans for a paid or unpaid internship in the near future are highly
suggested. This internship does not have to be public policy-related, nor does it have to be funded by
the Rockefeller Center.

Additional details about the Pre-Internship Training:

• Training will take place prior to campus Internship Funding Application Decisions. Students who
complete this training will have a competitive advantage when applying for Rocky funding.
• This training does not take the place of the full term MLDP, but supplements what that
curriculum offers. The emphasis is on the practical skills needed to be successful in the workplace.
• This training is capped at 30 students.
• Online registration ends on February 1, 2011.
