Enhancing Graduate Competencies through Incubator-Based Teaching and Learning Innovation: Evidence from the ACE Entrepreneurship Program

HRMARS - This study examines the Accelerated Entrepreneurship Development (ACE) Program as a cutting-edge platform for teaching and learning in higher education. The study investigates how student involvement, critical thinking, real-world problem-solving, and entrepreneurial competencies are improved in an incubator-based experiential learning setting. Students' opinions of the program's efficacy and its contribution to entrepreneurial growth were assessed using descriptive analysis. The results show high levels of participant satisfaction, especially in areas pertaining to entrepreneurial confidence, and the development of interpersonal skills. The findings imply that by offering real-world exposure to entrepreneurship, incubator-based learning environments can successfully supplement conventional academic curriculum. The study provides suggestions for academic institutions looking to improve creativity in teaching and learning through entrepreneurship-driven educational programs.
