RGV LEAD, in partnership with Career Bridge, officially launches its S3 Entrepreneurship Challenge on Jan. 14. The regional initiative focuses on providing continued support, engagement and real-world entrepreneurial learning opportunities for students across the Rio Grande Valley.
The S3 Entrepreneurship Challenge Kickoff and Informational Session will take place virtually via Zoom from 8-10 a.m. This session will introduce participating school districts, students, educators and community stakeholders to the program framework, expectations, timelines and collaboration opportunities.
The program is designed to cultivate innovation, problem-solving, and business development skills while strengthening connections between education and the regional business community. Throughout the challenge, RGV LEAD will provide ongoing technical assistance, mentorship, and engagement to ensure meaningful and sustainable student outcomes.
Participation costs are $40 per student for RGV LEAD Member Districts and $60 per student for non-member districts.
In addition to school districts, RGV LEAD and Career Bridge invites businesses, industry leaders, nonprofits and organizations to participate as partners or sponsors. Partnership opportunities allow organizations to directly support student entrepreneurship, contribute industry insight, provide mentorship and invest in regional talent development through the S3 Entrepreneurship Challenge.
Zoom access information will be provided upon registration or confirmation of interest.
