Creating mutually beneficial experiences for students and businesses

Innovation Center Partnerships

Students Need Experiences

One of the most valuable gifts an education can provide is real experiences that directly intersect with a student’s future career. A Innovation Center will help our students build skills, relationships, and more.

Opportunities Are Invaluable

Opportunities to gain real-world experience are one way to enhance what is taught in the classroom, allowing students to put what they’re learning into practice. There is no substitute for experience on campus or in a workplace that gives you an advantage in your future career.

Similarly, local businesses need well-trained, highly motivated employees to help them grow. This unique collaboration between Doane, businesses, and the government will not only provide jobs and services for companies but also experiential learning opportunities for students in entrepreneurship, engineering, and business.
