Signature Internship Program

Internships provide incredible value, allowing you to apply classroom learning in meaningful work environments, gain exposure to various industries and network for future full-time roles. In many internships, you get paid, too!

Participating companies range from small startups to larger corporations. Interns put entrepreneurial thinking and skills to good use identifying and growing new customers, new products and new approaches.

Eligibility

• ENTR major: Signature internships are summer internships for ENTR majors only. On occasion, we will offer part-time internships during the school year which are open to all qualified students.
• Attend an interest meeting: Discuss career interests, resume preparation, your LinkedIn profile, interviewing practice and more. If you cannot attend a session, contact Scott Lugar, lugar@udel.edu, to discuss your situation.
