Inside Kane County Schools: INCubator EDU
|
|
Preparing students for the jobs of tomorrow is tough work. With changes happening in the job marketplace each year, giving students hands-on experiences is key to their future success. That’s why schools are constantly innovating and developing new curricula that prepares students for the future.
Two high schools in Kane County have successfully implemented a program called INCubator EDU as part of their curricula and have seen great success stories come out of their classrooms.
Dundee-Crown High School
has offered the program since 2015 and
Batavia High School
has offered the program since 2016. The success seen in these two programs is encouraging to the several Kane County High Schools that are launching their own INCubator EDU programs for the 2018-19 school year. These programs are looking for experienced business professionals to volunteer this upcoming school year to be program coaches, mentors, and members on a board of advisors.
