Students win national contest and help break down gender barriers in business
A program initially launched to help support an Illinois school system looking to introduce business to its students, is now implemented in 363 classrooms throughout the country, impacting 25,000 students with support from 3,200 business community volunteers. INCubatoredu was launched at the start of the 2013-14 school year in the Barrington 220 school district in Barrington, Illinois, by Uncharted Learning, NFP, after a group of local entrepreneurs and community leaders observed that students who had obtained college degrees were still struggling to move out of their parents' homes and start their professions.
