Build a career. Build a region.

About the Program

The Port Authority’s Leadership Fellows Program is a distinguished program for leadership and public service in the New York/New Jersey Metropolitan region. This two-year, fast-track, rotational program offers Port Authority Fellows invaluable on-the-job experience in planning, financial, and facility operations functions. Fellows will be involved in 4-5 rotational assignments over 24 months. Each assignment is designed to build a strong foundation of business acumen, technical finance skills, and knowledge of Port Authority operations. The breadth and depth of these experiences are critical in preparing participants to be future leaders within the Port Authority.

Eligibility and Requirements: We are seeking candidates who are driven, flexible, and committed to quality public service. Students graduating with a master’s degree in fall 2013 or spring 2014 are eligible to participate in the program. 

Why work for the Port Authority?

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey builds, operates, and maintains many of the most important transportation and trade infrastructure assets in the country. The agency’s network of aviation, ground, rail, and seaport facilities is among the busiest in the country, supports more than 550,000 regional jobs, and generates more than $23 billion in annual wages and $80 billion in annual economic activity. The Port Authority also owns and manages the 16-acre World Trade Center site, where construction crews are building the iconic One World Trade Center, which is now the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere. The Port Authority receives no tax revenue from either the State of New York or New Jersey or from the City of New York. The agency raises the necessary funds for the improvement, construction or acquisition of its facilities primarily on its own credit.

This is a great time to join the Port Authority and help build these history-making projects for future generations. You’ll be part of an organization that values ethical decision-making, diversity, workplace quality, and open communication.
