There are three types of Internship for Entrepreneur:

1. Shadowing a successful businessman/entrepreneur
The intern works on projects in his/her company or in a branch of his/her company. The businessmen/entrepreneurs have already ‘made it’ in their previous project(s), and are potentially high-profile. Examples include: Jim Mellon, Luke Johnson, Sir Alan Sugar, Anita Roddick (all these are some of the high-profile supporters of Oxford Entrepreneurs).

2. Project-based work in a company or enterprise that has demonstrated an innovative or forward-thinking culture.
The student will intern in the company on projects relevant to the dynamic side of the business. Examples include: Venture Funds, exciting and relatively young branding and marketing companies, hedge funds, M&A department of a small but dynamic investment bank.

3.Start-up
The intern is placed into a fast-changing and young company where his tasks may well not be structured – he will be working with the founders directly to get the business moving! Examples include any start-up or non-profit organisation with a successful model and potentially fast growth.
