CIT Student Inc. Summer Programme

18 September, 2015

Over the summer months nine student entrepreneurs working on seven projects crossed over to the Rubicon Centre to begin Cork Institute of Technology's Student Inc., Summer Programme. Student Inc., supports student entrepreneurs at CIT.  The 2015 participants are from a multitude of undergraduate courses in CIT including Culinary Arts, Sustainable Energy Engineering, Craft Technology with Business, Hospitality Management, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and the Bachelor of Popular Music from CIT’s Cork School of Music.

Each budding entrepreneur receives €4,000 to fund their business (business expenses, equipment and a wage to offset a summer job) as well as a fully serviced office at CIT's and Ireland’s premier incubation centre, the Rubicon Centre. The programme offers the participants training and workshops in various aspects of business start-up (Service Design, Marketing Research, Funding etc.) to ensure they are well informed in any decision they make.
