Become an Entrepreneurship Brand Ambassador

Entrepreneurship is much more than starting a business, it lives inside of you. Part of your job as Brand Ambassador is to change the narrative around entrepreneurship and get others excited about the awesome space in the Venture Lab! Brand Ambassadors are often the liaison for other students who are not aware of what the Venture Lab has to offer.

Students in the Venture Lab

Brand Ambassadors help to build the brand through:

  • Word of mouth via friends
  • Professors
  • Clubs
  • Networks

Positions Available

The Venture Lab provides multiple pathways for creative, entrepreneurial students to build their own portfolios. This often helps to demonstrate professional skills that employers are looking for in future employees. The following positions are available as for-credit internship or paid work-study opportunities.  

Are You a Fit?

  • Availability - The Venture Lab is open from 9am-5pm Monday-Friday. Work study students are required to work approximately 12 hours a week. If your course or other work schedules do not allow this level of commitment, this may not be an ideal fit. However, we will make every effort to work with your course schedule to determine a mutually beneficial schedule.

  • Professionalism & Reliability - This is a professional, resumé building position and it is important that you maintain professionalism. In other words, always show up for your designated shift on time. If for some reason you aren't able to, communicate that to your supervisor as soon as you know. Multiple no-shows is a signal that this position is simply not a good fit.  

  • All Majors Invited - We invite students from all backgrounds and majors to launch the Venture Lab into an innovative space that is open for all ideas. You are the bridge for that!

  • Critical Thinking & Creativity - This job will require you to use critical thinking and creativity skills to support the lab’s mission and vision.

  • Friendliness & Positive Attitude - It is important that we apply these to coworkers, students, staff, and other visitors who may visit the Venture Lab.

  • Entrepreneurship and/or Changemaking - Ideal applicants will have a natural interest in either starting a business or changing the world for the better (changemaking).
