Ladder Internships Arvostelua 49

I had the opportunity to work on multiple projects that challenged me to apply my technical and creative skills in real-world scenarios. The mentorship provided was extremely supportive, offering guidance while allowing independence to innovate. The team culture encourages curiosity, collaboration, and problem-solving, making it a truly engaging learning environment. I particularly appreciated the hands-on experience with AI and web development projects, which enhanced both my technical abilities and project management skills.

We had high hopes when my daughter, a 9th-grade student, was accepted into the Ladder Internship Program, but unfortunately, the experience was deeply disappointing and frustrating from the very beginning.

She was assigned to work with two startup companies, and rather than being guided, mentored, or trained—as you would expect in a program aimed at high school students—she was given project work that assumed the knowledge of a college graduate in Computer Science. The expectations were completely unrealistic for a high schooler, let alone someone just starting high school.

The program provided no formal training, no structured onboarding, and no support to help students learn the tools or technologies they were expected to use. Students are left to figure everything out on their own. Unless your child is already extremely advanced and has had extensive technical training outside of school, they will struggle or fail in this program. It's more of a hands-off outsourcing setup than a learning experience.

We expected mentorship, guidance, and structured learning—what we got was pressure, confusion, and the sense that the program is more interested in using the kids for free labor than actually teaching or supporting them.

Ladder needs to seriously reevaluate its structure if it wants to serve high school students effectively. Right now, it’s not an internship—it’s an unrealistic and unsupported workload disguised as one.

I have been very appreciative for the opportunity to work with Ladder Internships this summer. After going through the application and interview process, they paired me up with a great company that I was able to work well with through online calls and communication. It has taught me a lot about what it's like working for a company in a real world setting and I know I will be able to take a lot of these skills on toward my next work.

Ladder Internships provided me with my first opportunity to work as an intern, and I am grateful for the experience that I have gained. Once I was admitted into Ladder Internships, I was paired with a company and given a job that aligned with my interests and passions. Ladder Internships has given me the chance to dive deeper into my interest in business, and taught me about the behind-the-scenes of a functioning and successful business. I better understand where I want to take my future education and career after this insightful opportunity.

Ladder Internships was an amazing experience that helped me grow both personally and professionally. I worked on real projects and got support from mentors who truly cared about my progress. The program taught me how to manage my time better and think more independently. I’d definitely recommend it to other high school students!

I have truly had a meaningful and enriching experience during this internship. It has given me valuable insight into the depth of thought, research, and effort involved in building and sustaining a company, especially within the mental health field. Working with my mentor has taught me so much about both the industry and myself. I’m especially grateful for the kindness, support, and encouragement I’ve received from everyone involved in Ladder!

I am very grateful to Ladder Internships for offering me an internship at a great company that matches my interests! Moreover, I was given a full financial aid as a student from a low-income background. This is an amazing opportunity for gaining experience in the field you’re interested in. Everything is organised very well. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an internship!

Ladder Internships was the first internship I've ever done and it is an extremely fun experience!! I'm currently working on projects for a company called Kids Create Inc. and I'm helping on making prompts for their AI tool. It gives students a chance to experience actually helping and making a difference in a company. Your thoughts can potentially be the next ideas a company uses and you aren't just doing the work to say you're doing an internship, you actually learn skills that help you in the future.

The Ladder Internship Program has been one of the most transformative experiences of my academic journey. I had the chance to work on real-world projects, grow under the mentorship of inspiring professionals, and gain insights that no classroom could offer. The support system was incredible, and the experience gave me the confidence and clarity to pursue my future goals with purpose. I highly recommend this program to any student eager to make a meaningful impact.

I’ve had an amazing experience through ladder internships. Once I applied and got into this program, a company was chosen for me based on my interests. I’ve been guided by great and understanding leaders, and i’ve gained so many strong skills. One example is how much i’ve improved my public speaking through this internship. We do weekly meetings, where i’ve presented findings and research with my team.

My experience with Ladder Internship has been amazing and transformative for my career plans. Coming from a low-income background and attending a public school in the outskirts of Brazil, I never imagined I would have the opportunity to intern at an American startup. However, Ladder made it possible for me to apply my computer science skills while working with an incredible manager and a supportive team who were always attentive to my needs throughout my first professional experience. Additionally, the financial aid provided was crucial, and having a manager and team who understood that this was my first job and offered the extra support I needed has been invaluable.

Part of this exceptional Internship program and I'm very glad about it. I'm learning about a lot of things, especially working with sponsors, which will be very useful in my future career. This program taught me a lot of things so far, including communication skills and time management as well.

I'm currently working on with my team in the sphere of marketing and overall everything is going well. I do enjoy the program and my mentor Sergio, as well as the tasks that are given to us every meeting.

The best part of Ladder Internships is that I get to intern at a company of my choice. Ladder Internships was an amazing opportunity for me to find a company that I like and intern at.

Their financial aid is amazing, it allowed me and many other talented kids to join for free due to our financial circumstances.

The internship process is great, you have meetings with your company manager and work together to grow the company. Every week we fill out a form to Ladder Internships to keep track of our progress and to make sure we are progressing smoothly.

Fantastic Experience with Ladder Internships!

I recently completed an internship through Ladder Internships, and I can't speak highly enough about the experience. From the start, the team was incredibly supportive, helping me find a placement that perfectly matched my interests and career goals. The process was smooth and well-organized, with regular check-ins to ensure everything was going well.

The internship itself was outstanding. The exposure to real-world challenges was exactly what I needed to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical application.

What sets Ladder Internships apart is their commitment to ensuring that interns are not just placed, but truly integrated into the company, with meaningful work and opportunities to contribute. I felt valued and part of the team from day one, and I left with a wealth of knowledge and confidence.

My experience!
First of all, interview in application process was my first interview ever and turned out to be very nice and comfortable. After I got accepted, I was matched with a company where I would do my internship based on my experience and the strengths I mentioned in the interview. Then, there was onboarding-also comfortable and informative. It gave me introductory information about internship and my internship company. I'm still doing my internship and I like it! Every week I have a call with the company I'm interning for and then I fill out a form. We always keep in touch and if there are any problems you can always write about it.

Ladder provides amazing hands-on experience and tons of opportunities to work in collaboration with other interns. Mentors and other staff members are incredibly helpful and friendly, always there to make sure I don't feel lost. The onboarding process helped me to become familiar with the objectives of my internship program, so I felt confident about what I was going to do. I would absolutely recommend this program to any high schooler interested in their first internship.

I have loved being able to experience what it will be like to work in the field I dream to work in. Doing this internship, it allows people of many different ages to experience the work field they want to work in, and learn many valuable new things such as time management, and stress management. I have really enjoyed doing an internship with ladder and I will recommend it to others.

The project manager is very helpful and provides plenty of assistance in the transition to a work environment. In addition, the workload is fair and involves real application of concepts, not just busywork.

I loved working with the Ladder Internships! This is such a unique company that gives interns such a unique opportunity - the chance to work with a real company and have all the work you do make a difference.

During my experience with Ladder, I learned so many new skills and experienced working with a more professional mindset.

My favorite part about working with Ladder Internships was that any time I reached out to the company, I got an in-depth response very quickly. I never felt like I was stuck on something that I couldn't manage.
