Mainebiz reported 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 attending college elsewhere with growing companies, according to the article. The program also is seeking companies looking for summer interns. “There are a number of Maine companies developing new innovations that are eager for talented students who understand the innovation process,” said Renee Kelly, co-director of the Foster Center. “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. More information about the program is online.
