2020 Leadership Fellow Program - Port Authority of New York and New Jersey

Who: Port Authority of New York and New Jersey

What: About the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey If you have ever flown out of JFK, biked across the George Washington Bridge, or captured that perfect picture of the World Trade Center, then you have witnessed just some of what the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey does. We run some of the busiest and most critical transportation facilities in New York-New Jersey metropolitan region. The six vehicular crossings (the George Washington Bridge, Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, Goethals Bridge, Bayonne Bridge and Outerbridge Crossing), and the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown and George Washington Bridge Bus Station in northern Manhattan serve nearly 1 million travelers daily. Our three major airports (John F. Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport, and Newark Liberty International Airport) served over 132 million passengers in 2017.



We are the largest port on the East Coast, a critical gateway that provides millions of people with the things they need, from everyday commodities like orange juice, to the steel of the World Trade Center. It takes a dedicated team of over a thousand men and women to operate these facilities safely, efficiently, and with a high standard of customer service. Our nearly 9,000 employees are committed to the work they do – work that moves millions of people and supports billions of dollars in economic activity each year.

About the Program The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s Leadership Fellows Program is a distinguished program for graduate students who expect to receive their degree in Fall 2019 or Spring 2020. It is a two-year rotational program that offers on-the-job experience in approximately four different business functions. Leadership Fellows have an opportunity to explore many different areas such as operations, finance, transportation, human resources, etc. Past Leadership Fellows have contributed to key regional capital programs, learned the nuts and bolts of policy development, and managed the challenges of daily operations at our transportation facilities. After successful completion of the program, Leadership Fellows will be considered for key positions in areas such as policy analysis, finance, capital programs, or related business functions.
