Governor Bob Orr Entrepreneurial Fellowship
An Indiana Workforce Development Initiative Managed by TechPoint
The Governor Bob Orr Indiana Entrepreneurial Fellowship works to retain and inspire Indiana’s brightest minds. It serves as an applied training vehicle for the State’s future entrepreneurs and organizational leaders.
The Orr Fellowship provides a unique opportunity for undergraduate students searching for their first salaried, full-time position following graduation. Each year, a new group of talented graduates is selected from thousands of applicants and placed with a host company. Host companies are some of Indiana's fastest growing entrepreneurial companies.
Fellows serve a two-year commitment, where host companies engage them in innovative projects while allowing them the opportunity to work closely with company executives. Fellows work with their host company to determine a position that highlights their strengths and passions in order to promote personal growth. A select number of Orr Fellows are chosen each year to help the TechPoint Foundation operate more efficiently and effectively by joining our various committees. The Orr Fellowship helps motivated college graduates jump-start their careers stimulating them professionally and personally.
