Neuroengineering Talent Accelerator Program

CNE is exploring the creation of a Neuroengineering Talent Accelerator Program (Neuro TAP) to help bridge the gap between academic training and industry opportunities for career paths in neuroengineering and biomedical devices. This pilot program aims to better equip undergraduate and graduate students with practical, career-ready skills, foster collaborations with industry, and provide insights to align academic programs with evolving industry demands. By supporting student success and strengthening industry partnerships, Neuro TAP hopes to further promote innovation, workforce development, and the University of Minnesota's leadership in neuroengineering and medical devices.

In this initial phase focused were are measuring interest among students and corporations regarding data collection and matchmaking. We anticipate this phase will allow us to better lay the foundation for a more formal version of NeuroTAP and stronger partnerships between academia and industry.
 

We will also use initial interest in the program to begin informal matchmaking – so while we’ll attempt to connect internship candidates with opportunities, but we cannot guarantee positions. You are encouraged to continue your own search for early careerpath positions or work with faculty to get involved here at the University.

If you are interested in participating in the program as a student, please complete the form below: https://z.umn.edu/NeuroTAP-Students

If you are interested in participating in the program as an industry partner, please complete the form below: https://z.umn.edu/NeuroTAP-Industry

NOTE: Your information will remain confidential and will be used solely for matching with potential opportunities.

Through this initial phase focused on data collection and matchmaking, the program will lay the foundation for stronger partnerships between academia and industry. It aims to enhance student career readiness, provide insights into the skills and training valued by companies, and reinforce the University’s leadership in neuroengineering education and innovation.
