Carleton’s Co-op Program and Innovation Hub partner to provide students the chance to experience entrepreneurship in action
Carleton’s Innovation Hub is one of the newest partners for the university’s co-op education program and offers an exciting placement for students interested in getting firsthand experience in entrepreneurship and innovation.
“This is an opportunity for us to embed a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship at Carleton,” said Harry Sharma, director of the Innovation Hub. “Students who are inclined to try these out, have a ready-made option which is a part of their curricular program. They don’t have to do entrepreneurship as an extra-curricular activity; they can do their co-op or internship, launch their business or social venture, and continue working towards their degree.”
“The ability to work with a university organization is also interesting because as a university we understand students, what makes them tick, what they’re interested in doing, and we have an increased stake in supporting a positive outcome for the students,” Katie said.
