ELN Internship Program
Program Mission Statement
The ELN Internship Program was established to match high performing Georgia graduate students (MBA, Ph.D., JD, etc.) with internship positions in local life sciences companies. One desirable outcome for this program would be for locally educated talent to stay in, and help to build, the Georgia Life Sciences community.
Background
Phase I of the Internship Program was launched in 2007 with over 40 highly qualified graduate-level students applying for the competitive internships offered. During this phase, ELN matched students with internships in a variety of companies including large government organizations such as the Georgia Department of Economic Development as well as private firms such as Guvner Scientific, a medical writing company.
