Business In Providence

Studying at Providence means you can:

  • Intern at local companies and organizations. Students in this program have recently interned at the RI Chamber of Commerce, Kohl’s, Amica Mutual and more.
  • Learn from faculty with years of experience in the industry as consultants, authors, business owners and more.
  • Pitch your own business idea in the annual JWU Sharkfest competition for a chance to win a cash prize to invest in your business.

Business Ideas Take Flight

The recently revamped Larry Friedman Center for Entrepreneurship (AKA “The Launch Pad”) offers a collaborative space for students to develop business plans and ideas, meet with mentors and access resources needed to bring their idea to life.
