INTERNSHIP
The Business Academy Internship experience at LSA provides students with meaningful, real-world exposure to the business and entrepreneurial field. Through a combination of on-campus instruction and an approved off-site internship, students develop professional skills, strong work habits, and leadership qualities during the Career Prep and Practicum class. The experience emphasizes character, responsibility, and practical preparation for future college and career success.
COLLABORATIVE EXPERIENCE
During the INCubator class, students develop their own product or service startup to gain investment funds in a final shark-tank style pitch event. Real entrepreneurs and industry experts serve as volunteer coaches and mentors, guiding student teams through the processes of developing hypotheses about a business concept, testing those hypotheses, adapting, and continually learning and improving.
