IDEAMAKERS Fred Kopp and Dick Petitte conceived a partnership with Bryant & Stratton College. The two organizations are working together on a program in which IDEAMAKERS’ services can include college-level students directed by seasoned experts – working in concert with Bryant & Stratton’s academic programs.
The Future Entrepreneurial Ideamakers Internship Program will help students possessing the necessary skills for specific projects opportunities to gain real-world experience and build better portfolios and resumes. Entrepreneurial organizations will be provided with high quality, yet less expensive ways to launch and grow their businesses by more effectively informing customers of their offerings.
Talented graphic design interns Leigh Wolters, Michelle Warner and Susan Putorek are the first participants in this program. They are students of Scott Mitchell, who is an Academic Program Director at Bryant & Stratton College. Leigh, Michelle and Susan have already begun working on client projects.
“The Future Entrepreneurial Ideamakers Program is a new component to Bryant & Stratton College’s existing internship program. This new element will help students possessing the necessary skills for specific projects opportunities to gain real-world experience and build better portfolios and resumes. We look forward to the additional exposure this will provide our students” commented Kelly Henry, Career Services Director at Bryant & Stratton College.
“IDEAMAKERS will have the chance to tap an array of fresh talent in a non-traditional way to best benefit our clients, which can be one more way to contribute to the vitality of the Rochester community and region as a whole.” said IDEAMAKERS’ founder, Fred Kopp.
