Entrepreneur Corps

An internship with a local small business will be required. While the focus of your work will be determined by the entrepreneur in consultation with your coach, we expect it to be focused on digital marketing, eCommerce and/or sales, particularly during this pandemic when most businesses are struggling to survive (10 hours per week).

By helping a local business survive & thrive during this downturn, you will be providing an important & impactful service to the community, economy & larger ecosystem.

An additional internship with another business located outside your home state or country is recommended, though optional (10 hours per week). This opportunity will help you gain international experience & perspective so you can compare & contrast entrepreneurial challenges, operations, marketing, etc.


Access to Entrepreneurship Networks

Students will gain access to the Global Entrepreneurship network & be invited to exclusive, invite only events on a monthly basis during & after completion of the program. They will include zoom chats with top entrepreneurs & innovation leaders.

You will also be provided access to an exclusive LinkedIn Group as well as complimentary membership in other national & global entrepreneurship support communities.
