Tue, January 20, 2009 Exobox Announces Formation of Young Entrepreneur Program
HOUSTON--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Exobox Technologies Corp. (OTCBB:EXBX) today announced that it has formed the Exobox Young Entrepreneur Internship Program, designed to give second- through fourth-year college students an opportunity to work side-by-side with world-renowned information security thought leaders on risk management solutions for the information-centric community.
The Exobox Young Entrepreneur Program, which is geared towards entrepreneur-minded students interested in information security, will provide real-world experience working in the research and development arm of a technology company, going well beyond traditional internships that often limit student involvement to entry-level tasks.
"Interns selected for the Exobox Young Entrepreneur Program will have a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of innovative technologies that, if validated by market need, have the potential for being commercialized," said Exobox Chief Technology Officer Ted Ernst, who is spearheading the program.
Ernst said utilizing young talent such as college students can add an exciting dimension to technology research and development.
"Individuals who have not been exposed to full-time jobs in the industry frequently investigate creative avenues that have not been contemplated," Ernst said. "The exchange of ideas between these bright, young minds and experienced technologists will often lead to cutting edge solutions, which will ultimately enhance Exobox's ability to achieve its goal of creating a more secure environment for the info-centric community."
Because of the nature of the Exobox Young Entrepreneur Internship Program, its acceptance process is very selective. For more information and admission criteria, contact Ted Ernst at [ intern@exobox.com ].
