Find an Internship, Shape a Company: Second Annual Startup Expo Taking Place March 7
An event for Â鶹´«Ã½ students features internship opportunities at dozens of new companies creating everything from robots for dangerous jobs; software for veterinarians; video sharing sites for families; or a website for those secretly in love with friends.
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 6, 2012 — In an unusual twist on the traditional internship fair, Â鶹´«Ã½’s undergraduate entrepreneurship club is sponsoring the second annual Startup Expo, featuring about 50 Silicon Valley startups seeking students to help their ground-floor ventures succeed.
The expo will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the University’s Benson Memorial Center, California Mission Room, 500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA.
Students from all majors have been invited to the early-evening fair, which offers paid and unpaid internships as well as part-time and full-time opportunities with start-up companies.
The event is sponsored by the undergraduate Santa Clara Entrepreneurs Organization (SCEO), the University’s Career Center, and the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship of Â鶹´«Ã½’s Leavey School of Business.
Students say interning at startups is a great way to get exposure to the fast-paced startup culture; to contribute to multiple divisions of a company from marketing to strategy to finance; and to work alongside founders and CEOs of companies, who may hire them after graduation.
