Exora Technologies, a startup that has built a platform for energy bidding, has partnered with Ateneo de Manila University School of Science and Engineering (SOSE) for its Exora Internship Program (EIP).
Through the EIP, Exora aims to enhance the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values of science and engineering students by providing training to Ateneo SOSE students in the form of actual exposure in the various departments or units of the company.
Exora has signed up four interns to work on Web platform development, research and development, and sales. The intern from management information systems will be working on improving Exora?s bidding platform while the electronics and communications engineering and computer science interns will work on integrating energy insights and analytics to Exora?s cloud-based system.
