The ENtern Entrepreneurship Intern Program was created by the Engineering Entrepreneurship Program in the Penn State College of Engineering School of Engineering Design and Innovation. The goal of the program is to provide entrepreneurship students with experience in startups and to provide startups with student help they may not be able to otherwise afford.聽 Through a partnership between the Engineering Entrepreneurship Program and Happy Valley LaunchBox powered by PNC Bank, the entrepreneurship internship (ENtern) program pairs entrepreneurship students with startup companies currently participating in Happy Valley LaunchBox鈥檚 FastTrack Accelerator聽or聽Invent Penn State鈥檚 Summer Founders program. We also partner with companies working with the Ben Franklin Technology Partners, the Small Business Development Center and other local startups.聽
Through their internships, ENterns are directly exposed to the startup environment and can explore their entrepreneurship interests and the startup culture. They gain real-world experience as an employee of an early-stage venture, building their resumes and potentially identifying employment opportunities in the Centre Region.
