Pennsylvania State University-Penn State DuBois issued the following announcement on June 1.
The North Central PA LaunchBox, powered by Penn State DuBois continues to invigorate the region, garnering support from S&T Bank. John Oberlin, Regional Banking Manager, and Jessica Runyon, BDO Community Banking Manager for S&T Bank, recently toured the North Central PA LaunchBox facilities.
The North Central PA LaunchBox, located in downtown DuBois provides entrepreneurs, small business owners, and manufacturers with little to no-cost training and services to innovate their processes.
The Idea Lab, located on the Penn State DuBois campus, boasts 3-D printers, scanners, CAD software, professional vinyl printing, and conferencing space, also utilized by regional organizations, entrepreneurs, students, faculty, and staff.
After touring the facilities, Runyon and Oberlin submitted a request to provide funding for the Idea Lab and were approved. This $2,500 donation can be used for materials, training, classes, and more.
