Bridging the Gap Between Classroom and Career

The Excellence and Innovation Initiative (e2i) gives UVU students the opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom to real-world, high-impact projects. As members of the Skillco team, these students step into professional roles—taking on responsibilities that directly contribute to the evolution of our platform.

They don’t just observe—they design, build, analyze, and lead.

From software engineering to marketing strategy and product management, students work with the same industry tools, methodologies, and challenges they’ll face in their careers. And in the process, they help Skillco enhance the educational experience for students nationwide.
