The Walter Center - Mill Internship
Be part of the Bloomington Start-up Ecosystem.
Internship opportunities for students of the College of Arts & Sciences: Indiana University Bloomington
We are specifically looking for interns who are not business or computer science/informatics majors. A strong liberal arts education provides a perspective and skills that we believe will make our summer 2024 internships rewarding for both the student and the start-ups we support.
The Mill is recruiting ambitious and hard-working people to come and join us or one of the Mill-affiliated companies for our 2024 summer internships. These positions are located in Bloomington, IN.
Who we are:
The Mill is actively building our small business and start-up ecosystem. Our mission is to help launch and accelerate startups. Our vision is to become Indiana’s center of gravity for entrepreneurship.
As the center for entrepreneurship in Bloomington, The Mill provides critical access, first and foremost to a community of peers and mentors, and secondly to capacity-building resources and startup capital. Our programs help accelerate innovative ideas and technologies into business concepts.
We began offering programming for startups and entrepreneurs in 2017. In November 2018, our membership-based coworking facility opened. Entrepreneurs, innovators, creatives, remote workers, techies, and others benefit from like-minded community, programming, and mentoring. With financial support from the City of Bloomington and the Redevelopment Commission for the building renovation and our launch, we have a stated goal of becoming self-sufficient by the end of year three.
Today, The Mill is 19,000 square feet of beautifully renovated, century-year-old factory space in the downtown Trades District. We are home to hundreds of members and dozens of companies. Our diverse members include innovators creating startups and small businesses as well as independent freelancers, creatives, and remote workers, for example. Some choose The Mill for our coworking amenities and the great community. Others join for specialized entrepreneurial support: for accelerating their startups, pitching to investors, and securing capital, for instance. We serve members, our thriving startup community, and the public at large.
The Mill and the Mill-affiliated companies are ambitious organizations looking to change their industries.
