Changes

There're not any TTO or TLO offices officially at Cal Poly but there is a technology park called C3RP which officially takes on these same functions in the name of the uniersity. The fuction of helping ideas tranfer to industry is also appearant in many of our competitions and the general environment that exists thus far. Such examples of this can be found in numerous successes out of innovation quest including YC admitant "iCracked". The goal of our programs are focused on the successful application of entrepreneurial skills, in the business discipline this usually alligns with the students goals as "become a successful Business". As such that is an outcome we hope to facilitate through providing resources like C3RP and a general focus on acheiving that goal.

Cal Poly offers internships with successful alumni student startups, and through the C3 RP Technology Park facilitates licensor licensee relationships. Of course there are A plethora of internship opportunities for companies like Apple or Google, But as far as grassroots and intrapreneur internships go these are the two main resources so far. The other focus that we are currently trying to build out is a program called start up showcase which is in essence a career fair in which startups can find employees. This resource brings in three levels of start up: current student projects/Start ups with no traction, current students start ups with good traction, And recently graduated alumni start ups with moderate to great traction, we will also be hosting silicon Valley startups as premium members of the show case.
