The application for the 2025 Leadership Fellow Program is open. This is a two-year rotational program that allows Fellows to experience four different business functions at Port Authority.

The 2025 program is open to graduate-level students who are graduating between December 2024 and June 2025. The program starts in the beginning of July 2025. This is a full-time, permanent position with a yearly salary and benefits. After successful completion of the program, Fellows are considered for key roles throughout Port Authority. As of 2024, we have 100+ alumni still working at the agency.

Unfortunately, Port Authority cannot provide sponsorship for this position (and we cannot accept OPT).

Application:

The application, along with more details, can be found here.
The deadline to apply is December 1, 2024.
If your school is part of Handshake, the application has been posted there.
Outside of Handshake, please feel free to share the application with your students as you see fit.

Virtual Info Sessions:

If your school is part of Handshake and accepts events from employers, I posted several virtual info sessions (9/26, 10/8, and 11/5) there if you’d like to share with your students.
Outside of Handshake, students can also register directly for these events via the Microsoft Teams links below:
