UConn students are able to take part in a unique opportunity of flexible, professional, paid work experiences through Micro-Internships. If you are looking for an opportunity to demonstrate your skills, explore career paths, and expand your network, but don’t have time for a traditional internship, these project-centered experiences are perfect for you; most can be completed remotely, typically involve

5-40 hours of work, and are deadline-driven as opposed to set during specific hours.

The E-Team Program supports student innovators on the path to launching their invention! Students can apply now for Pioneer for E-Teams, the first stage of the VentureWell Accelerator, where, in addition to receiving grant funding, they’ll discover the best market for their innovation.

E-Teams unlock:

• Up to $25K in funding
• Entrepreneurship training
• Mentorship by dedicated staff
• National recognition
• Networking with peers and industry experts
• 

Do you have an idea that can change the world? Start your entrepreneurship journey by applying for the Winter 2023 Pioneer for E-Teams cohort by October 5.
