Last week, head of Shift entrepreneurship Stine Øyna visited Innow‘s podcast “What, why and how” to talk about intrapreneurship – entrepreneurship within existing organizaitons. Innow is one of several excellent student ran businesses related to out student incubator – UiA Nyskaping.
Graduates from Shift has developed the competency required in order to start and develop new businesses, but also to innovate within established businesses. Companies across sectors and industries are facing challenges related to technology, globalization and sustainability and thus need people able to handle these changes. Several companies are now hiring business developers and innovation advisors able to work with renewing status quo. We anticipate that about half of our graduates will be employed by established organizations. In addition to companies aiming to innovate themselves, companies that aim to help their customers to meet the challenges of tomorrow (e.g. PWC or EY) or organizations aiming to help startups succeed (e.g. Innovation Norway) are likely employers of future Shift graduates.
