WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN AN INTERN
CWE seeks a dynamic, organized independent person to oversee the redesign of some of our signature entrepreneurship education programs. This position is great for students interested in educational design, Universal Design, entrepreneurship, and branding.
Entrepreneurship Training Curricula Internship – CWE is known for its entrepreneurial training experiences, where entrepreneurs have a chance to connect deeply with the community and with each other to build their businesses. Over the last year, CWE has undergone an extensive curriculum audit, conducted by outside parties, with an eye on best practices in adult education, cultural competency, and feminist principles in business. Now, we need those updates and suggestions vetted and incorporated into our 3 signature curricula: Getting To Your First Sale, Business Planning, and Power Forward: Strategic Growth Planning.
