Intern | Entrepreneurial Incubator Program Catering to Black College Students
Consultrepreneurship
Empowering black college students with practical and theoretical
entrepreneurial and financial literacy—from a black perspective—for 10 weeks every summer.
DIFFvelopment’s Consultrepreneurship is a 10-week summer internship program that gives college students of African descent the opportunity to develop a business concept with the support of DIFFvelopment and an assigned entrepreneur advisor, gain practical entrepreneurial experience through a consulting practicum at an assigned small black-owned business, and compete to be recognized for exceptional business concept, consulting report or overall performance. An intensive week of orientation, weekly seminars and guest entrepreneur lectures and workshops provide students with culturally specific entrepreneurial and financial education throughout the program. Consultrepreneurs who display the necessary readiness will have the opportunity to legally form their business through DIFFvelopment's financial support during the program.
Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for black college students who are passionate about exploring how they can leverage what they love to build a business and help their community.
How It Will Work In Light Of COVID-19
The program usually takes place in Montclair, NJ. However, due to the pandemic, we are prepared to carry out the program virtually. If the situation improves and meeting in person becomes possible, students must have reliable transportation to and from Montclair, NJ or be comfortable participating virtually.
