INCubator Entrepreneurship Program
Providence Catholic, in collaboration with INCubatoredu, will offer students an authentic entrepreneurship experience. In this program, students have the opportunity to create and fully develop their own product or service. Real entrepreneurs and business experts serve as volunteer coaches and mentors who guide student teams through the Lean Startup processes of developing hypotheses about a business concept, testing those hypotheses, adapting, and continually learning and improving. This cycle of experimentation is combined with foundational business concepts and skills in marketing and finance.
Students will develop the necessary skills for the 21st Century economy including:
- adaptability
- collaboration
- critical thinking
- creativity
- problem solving
INCubatoredu offers high school students a dynamic, hands-on experience in entrepreneurship, equipping them with the skills to succeed in business—whether they pursue college or enter the workforce after graduation. Since its launch at our school in the 2021–22 school year, the program has empowered students to develop real-world business ideas through teamwork, innovation, and mentorship. We continue to seek experienced professionals to mentor student groups as they build and refine their business concepts.
How can you help?
- Present in your area of expertise: Spend 1-2 class periods presenting about a topic in your area of expertise (ideation, value proposition, website creation, pricing, sales planning, marketing and many more topics).
- Mentor a student group: Work with a group of students on a weekly basis throughout the school year to help them develop their idea into a minimum viable product and guide them through their introduction to the business world.
Completing this form is not a commitment; it indicates your potential involvement.
We will contact you with more information.
