Curious about start-ups?
Lund, Malmö and Helsingborg are greenhouses for new ideas. We are collaborating with the innovative environments Hetch, Ideon Innovation, Minc and Smile so talented LUSEM students can get hands on experience with start-ups.
The School of Economics and Management and Lundaekonomerna student union are teaming up with four innovative environments who need your knowledge as a LUSEM student:
- Hetch, Helsingborg
- Ideon Innovation, Lund
- Minc, Malmö
- Smile, Lund
The start-ups are seeking assistance with, for example:
- Marketing strategies, market analysis, employer branding, brand building or digital marketing
- Analysis of expansion to other markets, global trade or cultural differences
- Examination of suppliers or sustainability strategies
- Design and implement information systems and investigate the effects that information systems have on people, organizations and businesses
- Analysis of key figures, investments or financial decisions
As a student you get:
- Experience from the start-up world
- Valuable experience for your CV
- Practical experience in an area you are interested in
Application
You apply for the positions you are interested in. Selection is made by the start-ups. Since start-ups are a company in the first stages of operations, they generally start with high costs and limited revenue. This means that some positions are unpaid. Read the instructions for each position thoroughly.
The ads are published under ‘Career services’ on the learning platform Canvas.
Insights from Pinteg
Benefits of the collaboration:
“It opens up the possibility to hire talented students who perform tasks that you might not be able to or have time for. Through the students it is also possible to get new insights in, for example, models within marketing or social media, which is a huge bonus for companies.
My suggestion to other start-ups is to not hesitate. You might be afraid that it will take a few hours, but you get so much back. Dare to let the students into your company and give them responsibility.
The marketing interns Wilma and Therese have created a communication plan for Pinteg and are working according to this plan. So far, they have set up a LinkedIn and a Facebook channel and started publishing posts that they create themselves.
I was impressed with how they both could perform from the start. Wilma and Therese are very talented and had the knowledge needed to be active in the marketing work right away."
"Previously, I have engaged in several other extracurricular activities with a focus on leadership and project management. When I started my bachelors thesis in marketing, I quickly realized that I wanted to try the theoretical part in a more practical way. This internship within Marketing Strategy was the perfect way to do so.
By working at a start-up, you learn so much. You are offered a lot of responsibility, which truly allows you to develop. The start-up environment is exciting and fast-paced and provides you with valuable experiences for life."
