The Best of Today’s Reality
“The Hive represents the very best of today’s reality. A joint effort with the public private and educational interests combined to enhance economic development and learning experience is a win for everyone. Our hope is that the quality of life in our community and this new high tech initiative will result in creative jobs in a place young people will want to stay and call home.”
A Truly Innovative Idea Delivered
“The Hive is an innovative, collaborative solution for utilizing the growing Internet Industry for workforce, community, and economic development. Not only was the idea truly innovative, but RevenFlo delivered.”
Takes Field-Based Learning Benefits to a Whole New Level
“Field based learning is at the heart of what we do but the HIVE takes the benefits to a new level; students have a dedicated place to work, the clients are real, other team members come from York Tech with their distinct competencies, so the collaborators is a perfect representation of how their careers will unfold. They feel the pressure and learn to rely on their creativity. Our teachers, working with the other supervising professionals, can act more like conductors than enforcers of a set of arbitrary rules.”
A Wonderful, Real-World Experience
“The Hive is a wonderful, real-world experience for our students. For most of them, this class is a capstone experience preparing them for a nice transition into their career. Based on conversations with the students, they are very enthusiastic about the work they are doing and feel they are learning a great deal. They like the fact that they are being challenged to go use their current skills and yet stretch themselves by having to go and figure out how to make a new software or technique work. These students are truly engaged and excited about their work. Jason and his team are doing a great job.”
A New Energy, Youthful Energy, To The Core Of Main Street
“The Hive is bringing a new energy, youthful energy, to the core of Main Streets of Old Town. It provides a place for future entrepreneurs to learn a trade, to hone it, and possibly to set up shop in Old Town Rock Hill. And, what’s even better, these entrepreneurs might consider remaining in Old Town as residents. The Hive is a boon to restaurants in Old Town and is a strong contributor as the “third place” to which downtown Rock Hill has aspired. In short, it’s good for business and it’s good for people.”
