UMaine innovation fellowship seeks college students and companies
The University of Maine is seeking college students for an innovation and entrepreneurship fellowship program that includes paid internships with companies.
The Innovate for Maine Fellows program from the university’s Foster Center for Student Innovation connects Maine college students or residents attended college elsewhere with growing companies.
The program is also seeking companies looking for summer interns.
Experts in the program guide and mentor both the fellow and the company for the duration of the project. The university handles all recruiting, matching, hiring and initial workplace training.
The initiative is part of Maine Accelerates Growth and assists companies with matching funds to support the costs.
“There are a number of Maine companies developing new innovations that are eager for talented students who understand the innovation process,” Renee Kelly, co-director of the Foster Center, said in a statement. “By matching students trained in Innovation Engineering with these companies, we hope to help the companies grow while helping Maine students see that there are great opportunities to work and stay in Maine after they graduate.”
The application deadline for both fellows and companies is Feb. 1, 2016. More information can be found on the program’s website.
