Please help us spread the word to your students about the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) Entrepreneurship Program, which provides students with both a stipend and great opportunities for learning and networking.
This program kicked off last year, and here’s what some of our inaugural participants had to say about their experience:
“The weekly lectures have been immensely helpful as we navigate the intersection of technology and commercialization. I have been pleasantly surprised that this program is not only about helping the national labs but also largely focused on educating the interns about entrepreneurship.”
“I feel as though it is (...) a very enriching experience. There are amazing guest lectures/speakers...”
“I had a great experience overall and would definitely recommend it if a friend was looking for a summer opportunity.”
“This program was an amazing experience and I’m glad to have been able to participate in it.”
We are confident the program will be even better this summer, and invite your students to apply. The application is available through Zintellect and is due January 3, 2022.
Here’s what your students can expect from the DOE OTT Entrepreneurship Program:
The DOE OTT Entrepreneurship Program gives students the opportunity to participate in research, technical or policy-related projects under the mentorship of technology transfer specialists and OTT staff. They will come away with a better understanding of how technology transitions from the lab into practice, and gain insight into how this is influenced by the policies created and implemented by our federal government. This is a fantastic opportunity for students who see themselves as entrepreneurs as well as scientists or engineers to expand their skills outside the classroom and beyond pure science and engineering....and get paid $700/week to do it!
