The 501c Business Incubator Council, LLC (501c BizIncCncl)™ and its lead charity, the Economic Empowerment Foundation for Exempt Startups & Small Businesses (EEF-501c)™ are excited to announce its inaugural Student Internship Program, we are calling it The Academic Partnership Initiative (API). Feel free to share this news with colleagues or forward to an interested party.

API has been on hiatus due to COVID. It is being modified in order to facilitate a relaunch for the Fall 2024 Academic Term AND to include an additional discipline as part of its Student Intern Learning efforts.

The Academic Partnership Initiative (API) is a Student Intern-to-Startup Match program of the 501c BizIncCncl™ where we invite Academic Institutions in the US to Partner with EEF-501c™ for Year-Long Internships for Students attending the Institution. API originally focused only on Students enrolled in the Schools of Technology but we decided to expand API to include other disciplines such as Communication & Podcasting and more.

The 501c BizIncCncl™ will offer Partnerships to the following types of academic institutions nationally, in DC & PR:

** Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs)
** Minority Serving Institutions (MSI)
** Community Colleges (CC), and
** Vocational Education Institutions (VocEds)

Institutions are selected by a Invitation-Only and will be contacted directly. Following the initial outreach offering, discussion about participation requirements, and where required, Approval by the Board, the formal Letters of Invitation (LOI), which includes an Acceptance Letter and Registration Package, is sent to the Institutional Partner. The Registration Process must be completed no later than mid-October with the API Program Cycle is scheduled to beginning in the Fall and conclude during Graduation Season. The API Program Cycle must begin no later than the end of October. Should the Institutional Partner desire to Renew their Program Cycle, they must notify The Foundation no later than March, ahead of Spring Break season.
