Where Will I Intern?

Discovery Internships is your personal recruiter.
We use the application process to understand your internship and career interests. At the core, we help employers connect with young, motivated students such as yourself that are interested in working alongside professionals in exchange for gaining real work experience. Sometimes we will utilize employers in our extensive network; often we will actually approach new employers to find YOU the right position. That's right: not an internship; YOUR internship!

The Internship Placement Process

Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is a career with endless possibilities! An entrepreneur is an individual who has as an idea or vision and is willing to take substantial risk in order to construct that vision into reality. Entrepreneur’s start companies, finance all or some of the risk, employ people, and ultimately generate revenue. Entrepreneurship is the heart of any economy. Entrepreneurs start all kinds of ventures from websites and clothing lines to financial institutions and medical facilities. Increasingly, social entrepreneurship is a term used for entrepreneurs who start non-profit organizations or businesses with a strong social mission.  

We are passionate about the power of entrepreneurship and strongly encourage any student interested in exploring their entrepreneurial side to consider an internship at one of the many exciting start-up companies we have partnerships with. (For more on Career Explorations own entrepreneurial history and our founder's accolades as one of the top student entrepreneurs in the US, click here.)

Interns have worked in a variety of start-up businesses ranging from tech companies to fashion firms. All of the start-ups we work with are in the hands of experienced entrepreneurs, but Interns at these nascent firms get the opportunity to wear many hats and work on many exciting projects that would normally be left to full-time employees at a more established company. One of our entrepreneurship internships is a great chance to see what it really takes to start and run a business, and perhaps to be a part of the next big thing. If you want to start your own business in the future then a hands-on experience learning from the pros will be an awesome first step!

Past CE entrepreneurship interns have:

  • Setup a music festival including logos, hiring musicians, and promotions
  • Built relationships directly with business owners to establish international trade agreements
  • Generated new business opportunities through innovative marketing strategies and partnership ideas
  • Developed new fashion designs for big label companies
  • Enhanced website designs, functionality, and effectiveness
  • And much, much more…

Testimonials

My favorite part of the job was new things each day. I cannot imagine working on the same thing day in and day out. So it was awesome to do so many different projects and learn about so many different aspects of business in one summer
- Carly
Before the internship began I could not have dreamed of having the ability to establish international trade for my company. But, my internship mentor helped me along the way and now we have the ability to sell our products worldwide
- Rob
After his entrepreneurial internship my son learned so many things about so many different business departments. He spent time in marketing, public relations, accounting, and sales. He came into CE as a boy and now a man
