The Center for Entrepreneurship + Innovation has partnered with outside organizations to create unique work study tracks that provide students of all majors opportunities for real-world service learning experience while being paid.
E+I Work Study tracks are an exciting way for students to gain résumé-building experience while learning hands-on skills. While the work study program pays at the same rate as any other student work program on campus, the experience is invaluable.
Beginning in Spring 2019, E+I will be offering two work study tracks in the areas of Technology Startups and Social Innovation. Both tracks will run from February 4 – April 26, 2019 and allow for up to 10 hours/week of work. The majority of the work can be done remotely and the hours will be flexible to suit the student’s schedule.
Spring 2019 Work Studies Tracks
Technology Startups Track
Want to make a difference in the way you and your fellow students find jobs and internships? Want to work with a team of entrepreneurs that are building the future of work? Want to gain valuable experience in the fields of data, sales, and internal relations with a growing tech startup? Consider an E+I work study with Candidit next semester!
Working up to 10 hours per week from February 4th through April 26th, you’ll have the opportunity to help map classes at Grove City College to an advanced system which includes 30,000 competencies. Improve your sales skills by communicating with companies that want to hire Grove City Students and assisting in on-boarding these companies into the Candidit system! Learn to develop taxonomies and how to structure massive databases for the collection of large amounts of data! Develop an understanding of cutting-edge technologies like blockchain and artificial intelligence! And perhaps most importantly, have fun working and learning alongside other highly motivated students…did we mention you’ll get paid for your work and that you’ll be doing the work on campus?

Social Innovation Track
Would you like to help those in Grove City and the surrounding region that need it the most? Thanks to a paid internship through the E + I work study program, you will have the opportunity to assist the Community Foundation of Western PA & Eastern OH in building an in-depth needs assessment of our region that will help its donors’ grant money to have more of an impact in the community.
The time commitment for the internship will be up to 10 hours per week between February 4th and April 26th, when you will be working directly with the Community Foundation’s Executive Director and Board Members to enhance the organization’s services to its donors.
You will be educated and then empowered to work directly with other non-profit organizations to identify gaps in service that grant dollars from the Community Foundation will be able to fill, thereby building a better future for local children, adults, and seniors (and animals!) throughout our region.
This is your chance to help make a huge difference in improving the lives of other people in our community!
