Think Create Develop Launch
Get off the Ground.
Four stages to the Launch Pad process:
Ideation - creating ideas that transform companies, nonprofits, or ministries
Creation - narrowing the scope of the idea into a refined product or service
Development - identifying the resources and requirements to launch the product or service
Launch - implementing the plan to successfully offer the product or service
Oak Valley’s Bachelor of Arts in Business offers widely applicable business skills, allowing you to work on real-world projects. Through Oak Valley’s capstone experience, Launch Pad, you develop a new product or service for a business, nonprofit, ministry or government organization. Launch Pad is split into 3 different courses, all integrated into Oak Valley’s curriculum.
Launching a career is a big part of the experience at Oak Valley College. Launch Pad is an interactive program enabling you to learn everything that goes into creating today's most exciting products and services.
Launch Pad focuses on teaching you the product and service lifecycle from ideation to implementation. You learn by doing.
“The Launchpad Program forces our students to learn by building something of their own. They become makers in the real world for real people.”
It is up to you and your team. Our professors will guide you through every step of the process and put you on the path to succeed.
Whether you have their own ideas or want to help others pursue a dream that excites them, you have a role to play in the Launch Pad. You will experience the successes and challenges of creating a product or service.
With the completion of a project, you will have a portfolio experience to show prospective employers. What you learn and what you do, will help you launch your career.
