The CEC Internship Program application asks in depth questions about the students backround, prior work experience, skills and also what they would like to learn and further develop. Organizations will be asked to explain the scope of the project and any necessary skills that the student intern already have.

Based on this information, the CEC staff will do their best to match students with entrepreneurial ventures that meet the skill sets and interests of the student and the needs of the organization.

The Coleman Entrepreneurship Center Internship Program gives DePaul graduate and undergraduate students the opportunity to intern with an entrepreneurial organization and work on specific and meaningful projects.

Students will be matched with a manager that will mentor them throughout the internship, set clear expectations and give ongoing feedback and support. Students will be given experiences that will enhance their skills and abilities and in return, add value to the organization.

Additionally, students will hear from expert entrepreneurs, fellow interns and CEC staff, in order to share experiences, learn best practices, and build their network.
