Even if you don’t want to start a business, you can still be an intrapreneur — someone who can be innovative within a company or organization. Students can gain intrapreneurial skills by participating in Startup CoLab events and opportunities.
Many people don’t think of themselves as entrepreneurs. They may feel they’re too introverted to start a business or that their skills don’t easily transfer to a business setting. Does this sound familiar?
We recognize that not everybody wants to start a business. Yet the same skills needed by entrepreneurs apply to intrapreneurs: people who can work within a large corporation and have the freedom to come up with innovative and profitable ideas. What’s the benefit? Employers seek intrapreneurs because they’re trained to identify problems and contribute to a solution—without the risk of leaving to start their own venture.
The Startup CoLab offers training and workshops to develop the next generation of intrapreneurs. It’s one way we keep you competitive and employable in today’s job market.
