The PayPal Career Academy is a virtual program focused on early career development for First Generation students, offering skill-building and soft skills to launch careers in tech. Active in the U.S. and India, the program accepts applications through November and runs from March to August. After completing the Academy, students will have industry coaching, collaborate with PayPal employees, and have the chance to interview at PayPal.
Tech skills and business acumen are key, but soft skills are just as important for career success. The Career Academy is a six-month virtual program for First Generation college students (those whose parents or guardians didn’t complete a bachelor’s degree) to build skills and prepare for a career in tech.
