RGV LEAD Innovation Hub: Where Students and Businesses Build the Future Together

The RGV LEAD Innovation Hub is transforming the way our community connects education with industry. Designed as a semester-long partnership, the Hub matches talented university marketing students with local businesses to tackle real-world challenges through paid internships and hands-on projects. Businesses receive innovative ideas and actionable strategies, while students gain invaluable experience, professional mentorship, and a clearer path toward career success.

By bridging the classroom and the marketplace, the Innovation Hub strengthens our regional workforce and fuels economic growth. It is more than an internship program — it is a collaborative ecosystem where students, businesses, and community leaders come together to spark innovation, support entrepreneurship, and prepare the next generation of professionals.
