The Coleman Entrepreneurship Center is now accepting applications to the 2023 Internship Program. The internships will take place beginning June 12 and end by August 18. This program gives DePaul undergraduate and graduate students hands-on experience working closely with founders on specific, meaningful projects at entrepreneurial ventures. Student interns will benefit from practical experience, insight into the day to day operations of startups and meetings to network with peers and share experiences. There is also an opportunity for students to receive course credit for this internship. If you are selected for this internship and interested in this option, please let us know.

Selected students will be paid a stipend of $2,000 (less taxes) for their work in the program.

We continue to encourage entrepreneurial ventures and organizations working in the field of sustainability to apply to the program.

What qualifies as a sustainable organization?

• The organization focuses on meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The concept of sustainability is comprised of three pillars: economic, environmental and social.
• The organization is creating profitability through socially and environmentally responsible business practices.
