A Global search for 30 outstanding young people, who want to bring privacy, ownership and control to our digital lives, to take part in an all-expense paid internship that runs 4 Jul - 12 Aug 2011 at MyCube's headquarters in Singapore
SINGAPORE, May 11, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- MyCube, the world's first Social Exchange™, today announced its initial summer internship program -- the "Digital Life Academy" -- an intensive 6-week internship program which will provide its members with the knowledge and expertise needed to become internet-savvy entrepreneurs. MyCube will be selecting 30 individuals ages 16-25 from 20 different countries* for the internship. Each intern will receive at no cost a round-trip ticket from their home country to Singapore, housing for the 6-week period, and a $3,000 Singapore dollar stipend.
"We are incredibly excited to start this program, and we look forward to working with these outstanding young people," said Johan Stael von Holstein, MyCube CEO. "This age group has grown up with the internet and is very aware of the need to have privacy, ownership and control of one's digital lives and assets, which is the core of the MyCube value proposition. We have designed the internship to ensure that when they leave Singapore after 6 weeks they will be ready to become the next generation of internet entrepreneurs working towards giving us all the digital freedom we deserve."
The internship will provide aspiring entrepreneurs with training in company formation, fundraising, product development, marketing, financial management and more. Interns will attend lectures from internet and business experts, work on real-life case studies and new business ideas, and get significant hands-on work experience.
The top performing intern will receive a $10,000 Singapore dollar grant to further their studies or start their own company, and four runner-ups will have an all-expense paid trip to Ideas Island in the Philippines for one week of brainstorming and relaxation.
After the program, interns will become MyCube "ambassadors" to their home country and may attend lectures, conferences and other events sponsored by MyCube, as well as serve as mentors to future participants of the program.
