Illinois
Innovation Network hubs will conduct numerous education initiatives to
strengthen the state's workforce, promote entrepreneurship and encourage
economic growth. The IIN will engage with corporate partners to
identify educational needs throughout the state and create programs to
address them. IIN members will work to develop courses that can be
shared throughout the network utilizing an advanced telepresence and
video conferencing platform that is in development.
IIN also plans to enrich the student experience at all of its member
institutions through short-term boot camps around topics such as
artificial intelligence, data science, entrepreneurship, and more. These
intensive programs will encourage students' interest in topics that are
key to the 21st century economy and give them a foundation for
continued study.
