Equiping Creatives with real-world business skills
Who We Are
IABC is UIUC’s first organization built to help creatives understand the business side of their work.
Many creatives are taught how to make work, very few are taught how to navigate careers, networking, and opportunities. At UIUC, creatives often find themselves unsure about where their skillsets fit in the professional world, especially in spaces dominated by business and technical thinking.
IABC exists to close that gap by helping creatives learn real world business skills through practice, experimentation, competitions, and applied programs.
