Learner goals and capabilities

EPIC aspires to significantly scale high-quality work-based learning experiences through a national network of accredited clearinghouses that provide authentic, employer-led problem-based learning experiences to learners and workers.


This opportunity, provided by PA Chamber, offers local businesses to work with learners from East Stroudsburg University looking to leverage their skills to help you problem solve or focus on a specific business challenge.


The learners will collaborate with you on the challenge, how this might be approached, what solutions could be posed and present you with final presentations.
