  <body><![CDATA[<p>Students2Startups (<a href="http://www.investatlanta.com/students2startups" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.investatlanta.com/students2startups</a>) will subsidize students coming from Atlanta-based universities to intern with Atlanta&rsquo;s growing startups.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The deadline for student applications is 4/23.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;re launching this Students2Startups pilot program:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Startups have constantly evolving tech talent needs and often lack the resources to upskill or hire paid,&nbsp;full-time interns.</li>
	<li>This means that students, especially those in need of financial resources, may choose a traditional, paid opportunities.</li>
	<li>As a result, many talented students are not exposed to the necessary skills for entrepreneurship.</li>
</ul>

<p>Here&rsquo;s what we&rsquo;re doing:</p>

<ul>
	<li>We want to eliminate some of these barriers to entry and expose Atlanta-based students to entrepreneurship.</li>
	<li>Invest Atlanta and WorkSource Atlanta will be paying 2/3 and the startup 1/3 of the costs for students to intern with the Atlanta-based startup company.</li>
	<li>Atlanta-based students at universities will&nbsp;commit to 35 hours/week in the program and will own deliverables over the course of the experience.</li>
	<li>Startups<strong>&nbsp;</strong>will commit to provide mentorship and create workplan with substantive and varied work to expose students to various tech-related careers.</li>
</ul>

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
