Learn Do Share is a direct reflection of JCU’s long tradition of integrating experiential learning with lessons and other activities. It is an initiative that brings real companies into the classroom. It allows students to recruit the theoretical knowledge they receive in lectures and apply it in pursuit of solutions to real business problems. Through Learn Do Share, students get a unique chance to test their newly acquired business competencies, learn the potential constraints and challenges that exist in the business world, build their CVs, prepare for entrepreneurship after graduation, and provide valuable services to the local community.

Keep in mind that students pursuing internships through the Institute For Entrepreneurship should be comfortable in open-ended, unstructured work environments and responsibilities that evolve. These internships are rather competitive so get ready to use your entrepreneurial knack for competition to stand out from the rest!
Entrepreneurship is a unique line of work. As a result, it may feel as though there’s a shortage of mentors in the field. That’s not the case when you study entrepreneurship in Rome. Entrepreneurs are strongest when they embrace relationships and collaboration.
The mentorship program for entrepreneurs at JCU will provide valuable support as you develop your ideas
With this in mind, the Institute For Entrepreneurship has developed a predominantly alumni-based mentorship program that connects aspiring innovators with experts who can help them develop their ideas, plan businesses, and offer general advice from their wealth of entrepreneurial experience. This support may give you the boost of confidence you need to go after your business aspirations.
