YOUTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders, and we’re on a mission to ignite a passion for STEAM education to as many children as possible throughout Arkansas. The Hub hosts camps and after school programs and we travel with our Mobile Makerspace taking resources to students in their own community.
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
We know Arkansans are seeking skilled labor. Our free 10-week scholarship-based program, Skills to Launch, offers training in trades such as Industrial Operations, Construction, Welding, and HVAC. The program develops technical and soft skills needed for success in these fields. Our job placement rate is high and our industry partners are top notch. We look forward to watching you succeed.
The Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of Arkansans by inspiring innovation and expanding opportunities.

The Innovation Hub uses tools, skills, and expertise to inspire innovators and entrepreneurs who expand the range of educational and economic opportunities for themselves, for their communities, in our state, and throughout the world.

“Our programs are supported by generous donors and partners. Without them, we would not be here. We are a 90% grant-funded nonprofit, and the belief from our donors that we can make a real impact enables us to empower the dreams of those we serve. We would like to take this opportunity to share our appreciation for each and every one of them, from the Hub’s inception to today and beyond!” – Errin Stanger
