Talent is the most valuable asset in any business. At Embarc Collective, we recognize that developing and nurturing talent is crucial not only for our member startups but for the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem. That’s why we’re thrilled to continue our partnership with the Genspiration Foundation, aimed at equipping the next generation of entrepreneurial talent with knowledge and training on what it means to work at a startup.
Our partnership with the Genspiration Foundation started last year to provide five paid internships to the University of South Florida (USF) and FUSE program students at Embarc Collective member companies. Students visited Embarc Collective with their classes and clubs, joined various events, and participated in professional development coaching from our seasoned startup veterans, all to help top collegiate talent to get hands-on experience working with startups.
“I felt very well supported by my manager throughout the internship. [Supervisor] was particularly helpful and provided a lot of valuable insight into the industry and my role. His mentorship played a significant role in my professional growth during this period, and I truly appreciated his dedication to my development.”
“Everyone was so helpful and supportive to guide me through the stuff I don’t know about. Love the experience overall.”
“I felt beyond supported by my amazing manager during my internship! This experience was so important for my professional development, and I am so grateful for everything learned!”
Building on the success of our first year, we are thrilled to announce the continuation of our partnership with the Genspiration Foundation. In the upcoming year, we plan to host larger events aimed at reaching even more students, invite additional student groups to visit and learn about Embarc Collective, and offer paid summer internship opportunities with our member startups. This program is designed to further engage and support the next generation of entrepreneurial talent within our community.
