INCUBATION GROUP INFORMATION:

Incubation group will provide details regarding their current internship/co-op process by Friday, Feb 15th:

We identified 5 basic steps in the internship process…since talking today, I’ve added a couple other things that we’d like to know about:

• Need for intern identified, either by company or by student seeking internship
• Match student and business
• Document internship agreement
• Perform internship, submit reports
• Involvement/connections to incubators
• Conclude internship/Post internship follow-up

• Any aspect of your program that you think is unique

   

I will take what you send me and put into a spreadsheet, along with other programs around the country so that we can analyze and select best practices that we could consider adopting for a regional program. 

Below is a link to an application for an internship that I thought would be worth looking at.

 Below are some Entrepreneurial Internship Programs I found on Google, in order in which they impressed me.

I really think we can put together a regional program that would attract the attention and support of a Kauffman, Mott, or Edward Lowe Foundation.
