Synogen offers internships to interested students throughout the fall, spring and summer semesters. Interns assist resident start-up companies as well as assist Synogen staff in daily business tasks, and short and long-term projects. Areas where interns can contribute include market research, business development, product development, engineering (electrical & chemical) and manufacturing.
Market research
"The market research I conducted during my internship is actually integrated into the business plan. It is great that my work directly benefits the company." - Lauren Brinker, Fall 2008 Intern
Business plan development
"Before working at Synogen, I knew business plans were an important aspect of the investment process, but I hadn't actually seen how one was constructed. It has been exciting to gain hands-on experience with business plans." - Brett Griffin, Fall 2008 Intern
Company support in weekly operational meetings
"During my time at Synogen, I got to participate in company operational meetings and see first-hand how successful entrepreneurs execute on their ideas." - Carol Skordas, Fall 2008 Intern
