20-hour (2-day) or 40-hour (5-day) Hybrid Innovation Experience
The Local Content Generation Lab™ is an immersive, hands-on learning experience designed to prepare the next generation of Local Content Leaders. Delivered in either a 20-hour (2-day) or 40-hour (5-day) format, this hybrid program empowers youth ages 12–17 (Gen Alpha and early Gen Z) to co-create evidence-based economic impact projects with mentorship from older Gen Z and Millennial leaders.
Participants work in teams to explore and solve real-world challenges across LocalContent.com’s four pillars:
- Small Business Contracting
- Workforce Development
- Community Benefit Investment
- Stakeholder Engagement
Using tools such as behavioral insights from Local Content Intelligence™, public sentiment data from Local Content Insights™, and facilitated intergenerational collaboration, students design projects that deliver measurable value to Gen Beta (future generation), Generation X, and Baby Boomers—today’s business leaders, policymakers, and economic stakeholders.
