NYC Companies that sponsors FIRST teams in NYC (like the one I work for) hires both high school and college student interns for the summer and full-time. Since these companies sponsored and mentor a pool of young talents, it is only natural to select candidates from these teams.

FIRST is a great “net” for catching engineering talent. A FIRST’er performance and work ethics is an excellent indication of the future career performancein any discipline. It’s a win-win situation.

A few of the notable NYC companies are: Verizon, Consolidated Edison, Keyspan, SIAC.
