The Kauffman Entrepreneur Internship Program is a partnership between the University of South Florida and
the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation established in 1998. This program is open
to graduate students from all discipline at USF. It is administered through the
Center for Entrepreneurship. This internationally recognized internship program
provides unique entrepreneurial opportunities for highly qualified graduate
students. These appointments require student
interns to engage directly with the Chief Executive Officers or other senior
executives of local Life Sciences and other high-growth businesses on internship
class projects. By working directly with senior business leaders, student
interns develop leadership skills, strategic thinking and effective
organizational and communication skills to become successful business leaders.
Interns are expected to develop value-added, meaningful deliverables for their
host companies. Students will be expected to participate in open classroom
discussion of their on-going experiences during their internships, with a
presentation of their project before peers and faculty.
Graduate students with strong GPA's are invited to apply.

Comments--"This
program was a great opportunity to get out into the community and use the
skills learned in the course of study and to bring value to the sponsor
companies. The networking opportunity and recognition of the Kauffman program
is second to none!"
"After
graduation, I interviewed with two companies; five out of eight interviewers
greatest interest was that of my Kauffman internship. Each asked detailed
questions about my experience and were impressed with the results. It was
clearly an important factor."
"The Kauffman program is changing
the way USF develops its students and it will benefit the Tampa Bay Region
tremendously."
