The Leadership Excellence at Penn (LEAP) Program is a career and leadership development program designed for college /university students nearing graduation and/or recent graduates.

In totality, the program is 15-months and divided into 2 phases:

• Internship (Phase 1): 12-week paid internship that provides practical, hands-on experience in several functional areas while being mentored by corporate and property leaders. Interns will present a summary of their experience to property leadership at the end of the internship.

• Associate (Phase 2): 12-month program in which participants are hired full-time into an entry-level professional position in their functional area while being mentored by corporate and property leaders. Associates complete and present a capstone-type project to senior leadership at the end of the program.

The LEAP internship is designed for college/university students, completing their junior year, working towards a degree.
Interns are exposed to a variety of real-life work experiences by rotating through various functional areas, which may include:

• Learning and performing job duties within an area, where jurisdictionally approved
• Working on projects related to key business priorities, determined by property
• Participating in Company-wide training programs and attending key meetings
• Building relationships with team members, department leaders, and executives
