DUBOIS, Pa. — The North Central PA LaunchBox powered by Penn State DuBois continues to invigorate the region, garnering support from S&T Bank. John Oberlin, regional banking manager, and Jessica Runyon, BDO community banking manager for S&T Bank, recently toured the North Central PA LaunchBox facilities.

The North Central PA LaunchBox, located in downtown DuBois, provides entrepreneurs, small business owners and manufacturers with little to no-cost training and services to innovate their processes.

The Idea Lab, located on the Penn State DuBois campus, boasts 3-D printers, scanners, CAD software, professional vinyl printing and conferencing space, also utilized by regional organizations, entrepreneurs, students, faculty and staff.

After touring the facilities, Runyon and Oberlin submitted a request to provide funding for the Idea Lab and were approved. This $2,500 donation can be used for materials, training, classes and more.
