Tools for Success

Osceola County is committed to creating new jobs for its residents. Incubators are a proven way to accomplish this mission. Osceola County is working with the University of Central Florida and other partners to create incubators - and new job opportunities all over the county.

UCF's Role

Since its founding in 1999, the award-winning UCF Business Incubation Program has helped more than 140 emerging companies create over $800 million in annual revenue and more than 2,000 new jobs. And those jobs have an average salary of $59,000 - 96 percent above Osceola County's median annual wage of $30,040.
