Washington University's Skandalaris Center for Entrepreneurial Studies is accepting applications for its 10-week summer internship program that connects startups with students interested in working for them.
Aimee Dunne Zander, the community outreach coordinator for the Skandalaris Center, said last year the program placed 25 Washington University students at St. Louis startups, many of them tech companies based in the T-REx incubator downtown.
The cost for a company to have an intern join is $1,000, Zander said. The school subsidizes the remaining $5,000 cost for providing a stipend and a housing and food allowance for students. Students work Monday through Thursday and on Friday participate in professional development and educational programing hosted by the Skandalaris Center.
"We don't place every company or student who applies," Zander said. "There's too much demand every year for us to subsidize it all."
The program is in its fifth year and Zander said so that she knows of at least five students who've gone on to work full time for their startups following graduation. And many students stay on after the summer and work part time as well.
This year the Skandalaris Center is also launching an internship program for Growth Ventures, companies that have raised more than $1 million or have more than 15 employees.
If you have questions, please contact Aimee Dunne Zander in the Skandalaris Center at 314.935.6906 or dunnezander@wustl.edu. |
