In fall 2017, Project SAINT received an enhancement grant to support two new one-year Project SAINT entrepreneurial pathways: Horticulture Agriculture Pathway (HAP) in coordination with the non-profit Gainesville GROWHUB; and Artist Entrepreneur Pathway (AEP).
Students with particular interests and skills in gardening, horticulture and agriculture or who have artistic talents may apply for and be considered for either one of these 12-hour weekly one year scholarship eligible programs that include hands-on and professional guidance from a horticulture specialist for HAP and from guest and professional artists for AEP. Students learn academic skills wrapped around contextualized classes that lead to certifications in safe food handling (HAP) and customer service (AEP). They develop and practice their "on the job" skills, engage in entrepreneurship/sales, and do this all in inclusive classes.
