E/Intern Fellowship in Creative Entrepreneurship
Finding Entrepreneurial Internships
The E/Intern Fellowship in Creative Entrepreneurship allows you to learn by doing. Entrepreneurial internships provide the opportunity to shadow and support a creative business or venture. You will get to see first hand how a solo artist or small company operates and the many hats solopreneurs wear on a day-to-day basis.
Consider looking for opportunities with practicing artists and creatives, start-ups, and small businesses. Look for your home town's creative guilds, artist collectives, and maker spaces (ex. Charm City Craft Mafia, Open Works, Technical.ly, etc.)
Check out entrepreneurial resources from the Ratcliffe Center for Creative Entrepreneurship (RCCE) at www.micarcce.com.

The RCCE partnered with the Career Development office to launch a pop up creative studio. A team of 4-7 E/Studio interns will be supervised by award winning Creative Director André Vaseghi. Over the span of 4 weeks, the team will develop a start-up venture package for the UP/Start People’s Choice winner. Through this program, E/Studio interns have the opportunity to work on real client work, while at the same time learning how to work as a creative team.
