What is Education Uncubed?

3 Days.

100 UNIVERSITY DECISION-MAKERS.

100+ Hiring Startups representing the future of careers.

Education Uncubed is a three-day conference that brings together higher educators, industry experts, entrepreneurs, and hiring employers to best prepare students and alumni for success in the digital economy at startups, innovative companies, and in their own entrepreneurial endeavors.


It is an opportunity for university staff to:

  1. Learn from - and work directly with - employers to identify needs on both sides, strengthen recruiting efforts, and develop university programming
  2. Further empower their students and alumni to pursue startup and entrepreneurial careers using university resources and programs
  3. Meet, work, and develop new best practices with peers from other universities that will better prepare students and alumni for the next generation of work

University Testimonials

"Education Uncubed is thinking out of the box about entrepreneurship, but looking at it from an institutional perspective. That can be a conflict in many respects. But I think that this is exactly the sort of forum we need to discuss this."

Katherine Darius

Asst. Director, Corporate Relations
University of Chicago Booth School of Business

"It always makes sense to try to learn more... being involved with this community and saying, 'What do you do that’s great? How can I help you? How can you help me?'"

Nick Naraghi

Recent graduate | FORMER CEO, IDEA: NU'S VENTURE ACCELERATOR | Former Student Body President 

Northeastern University

"There are very few forums for the sharing of entrepreneurship education ideas, and I think there was a need for this conference. Thanks!"

Director, Center for Entrepreneurial Studies

Show & Tell (Breakout Session)

An opportunity for schools to share their biggest successes and challenges when it comes to startup and entrepreneurial career prep.

10:05 AM - 10:30 AM

Rewriting The Dictionary (Breakout Session)

How do you - and how does your school - define phrases like "new economy," "digital economy," "future of work," "startup," and "entrepreneurship"? Unfortunately, the variability of these definitions when identifying tomorrow's careers impacts goals, stakeholders, actions taken, and outcomes. This in turn costs your school time, money, efficiency, and success. It also confuses staff and students as to where to turn for resources.

 

In this session, we'll brainstorm, opine, and debate what these phrases mean to help bring everyone closer to being on the same page.

10:30 AM - 11:15 AM
