It’s Your Time to Fly Higher.

Higher Up works with local businesses, skilled tradespeople and corporations to provide meaningful paid summer jobs and internships for Hightstown High School students and graduates.  When you join Higher Up, we work with you to better understand your areas of interest and match you with a Higher Up partner for summer employment.  These unique placements enable you to explore your interests and begin to shape your studies and career path – and reach towards your dreams.

In addition to the matching process, Higher Up provides a readiness program designed to prepare you in the areas of resume writing and interviewing, business etiquette and wardrobe basics, personal finance and wellness; and to build your confidence through engagement with motivational speakers and dedicated student-partner coordinators.

Once placements begin, Higher Up conducts periodic check-ins with you and your employer to assess fit, address any needs and note progress.  At the close of placements, we facilitate program evaluations, letters of recommendation and thanks. Our Higher Up staff, partners, volunteers, sponsors and donors are all behind you, rooting for you.  In our community, your success is our success.
