Trinity Entrepreneur Program Grows Alongside San Antonio Startups

credit:

Students at Trinity University, just north of San Antonio, are taking part in a new type of career program designed specifically for budding entrepreneurs to allow them a safe space in which to experience failure for the first time. Certain classes within the program have been made open to all students for those not interested in a business degree but with an idea of their own.

In addition to teaching all aspects of running a start-up business, the program helps partner students with local internships and mentorships to give them relevant experience.

Each year the program holds a contest for its entrepreneurial-minded students and students with the most sound, feasible and meaningful projects are awarded grants to fund their start-up business. The Trinity area has actually seen cultural and economic change since the start of this program with more start-ups in the area bringing an influx of workers, new business, and monetary revenue that is allowing the creation of technology-related educational programs for students.
