BROOKVILLE — Safety at home, school and outdoors was the focus of the 26th Progressive Agriculture Safety Day held last week at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds.
A cohort of three students from Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus have been selected to participate in the second-annual mentorship program at Fayette LaunchBox for six weeks this summer.
Fayette LaunchBox is a no-cost business accelerator designed to help regional entrepreneurs and university affiliates develop their ideas into commercially viable products and services. The facility is a joint venture between Penn State and the Fay-Penn Economic Development Council, under the Invent Penn State program, which encompasses twenty similar accommodations across the state.
The mentorship program, which provides students with microgrants and resources to develop their promising entrepreneurial ideas, is an initiative to generate more technology-based start-ups in the region.
