It's a big week for Boston when two new professional development programs, both with the potential to have a big impact on the local start-up ecosystem, get announced within the span of 48 hours.
TechStars managing director Katie Rae took the covers off Boston Startup School first, on Tuesday night at the Ruby Riot mixer. It'll be a six-week-long program for recent college grads, focused on making them appealing hires for fast-growing tech companies. Participants will choose one of four tracks: marketing, business development and sales, product and design, or software development. "In six weeks, we want to bring a student to a much deeper level of understanding about what it would take to succeed and be hyper-productive for a start-up on the day they join," says Rae. There will be several opportunities throughout the program for students to interact with potential employers, she adds.
