The University of New Hampshire is hoping that Granite State businesses can use an extra pair of hands this fall in exchange for offering students some experience.

UNH’s Whittemore School of Business and Economics is looking for entrepreneurial ventures at various stages of business development that are willing to host interns as part of its Entrepreneurship Internship course.

The course, which starts Aug. 30, is taught by Jeffrey Sohl, professor and director of UNH’s Center for Venture Research. The Entrepreneurship Internship class aims to give students significant experience working at start-up and high-growth ventures as well as gaining insight from mentors at their host companies.

Students will work eight to 10 hours per week in addition to lectures, team projects and working with nonprofits.

While the internships are not paid, UNH is asking hosting companies for a fee ranging from $500 to $750 to participate in the program to offset interns’ travel expenses and administrative costs associated with the program. The fee is due at end of the semester in December.

Warren Daniel, regional director of the New Hampshire Small Business Development Center, a partner in the program, said students in the class are "are of high caliber."

He added that participating businesses "get a product that is professionally done and fills the needs of the business. The areas of assistance provided include marketing, financial analysis, access to capital, feasibility studies and expansion plans."
