Nashville, Tenn., (Sept. 28, 2017) – Launch Tennessee (LaunchTN) has reformatted its annual internship program to offer 16 full-time, 14-week paid positions with Tennessee-based startups and Entrepreneur Centers.
Interns will receive hands-on startup experience and will learn entrepreneurship from some of the state’s most successful entrepreneurs, along with a stipend.
LaunchTN’s Specialist Program, launched in May 2014, has matched 100+ undergraduate and graduate students from across the country with internships at Tennessee’s six Entrepreneur Centers.
