Youngstown Business Incubator announces fellowship program
YOUNGSTOWN — The Youngstown Business Incubator and Youngstown State University have developed a formalized fellowship program to help build interest in entrepreneurship and STEM programming.
The Bacon Family STEM Fellowship is for students attending a Mahoning Valley higher education institution and studying a STEM field. Accepted students will be placed with a YBI portfolio company to complete projects and create solutions to real-life problems within a growing startup company.
"We are always looking forward to discovering new connections and ways to impact our startups and local students," Barb Ewing, CEO of the YBI, said in a news release. "The importance of this relationship could potentially impact the retention of college students within the STEM field and give students a broad exposure to entrepreneurship."
YBI will work with its portfolio companies to identify specific projects for the interns to work on each semester. Additionally, the interns would also work on YBI-related projects and sit in meetings with their entrepreneurship team. Students are eligible to work for as many as three semesters. For undergraduate students, juniors and seniors are preferred. YSU and Eastern Gateway Community College students are eligible.
"We are pleased to continue our strong relationship with YBI through this new internship program," YSU President Jim Tressel said. "Our graduates have been a key component of YBI's great success, and we look forward to these additional opportunities for our students and the university."
