The Technology Management Fellowship Program was created as a joint venture by the Katz Graduate School of Business and the Office of Technology Management , and is funded by a generous gift from the Heinz Endowments . The program has been designed to facilitate the placement of Katz MBA graduates with local, entrepreneurial, technology based companies. This can include information technology firms, biotechnology firms, engineering firms, and other companies engaged in the support of such firms, such as consulting and venture capital.
Fellows have the option of three different fellowship tracks.
Track One will place the fellow directly into a company for the entire year, working side by side with the top management of the company. Track Two will place the fellow at multiple sites during the year. In this track, the fellow will function more like a consultant. Track Three will place fellows at the Office of Technology Management. There, the fellows will assist in strategic planning efforts to spin out companies from the University of Pittsburgh.
