For the second year in a row, The Idea Center is accepting applications for the Miami Startup Ecosystem Internship Program. They are being accepted through April. 

The program, in partnership with Blackstone Launchpad and JP Morgan Chase, is exclusive to current Miami Dade College students and recent Spring 2026 graduates.

It aims to provide participants hands-on experience with leading startups and small business owners in Miami. Starting pay is $20 per hour. The internships last eight to twelve weeks.
