CO-OP
“How do I get a a genuine sense of what the workforce is like before selecting a career path?”
The CO-OP Program offered by Tech Under Twenty is a great way to experience the pros and cons of the workforce before having to commit to a career. This program enables you to work with others and experience the reality of what working in the technology or business fields are like. Completing projects, giving presentations, and meeting deadlines are some of the things you do during this CO-OP. Press here to learn more
Fellowship
“I want to pursue an idea of mine but do not have the resources and guidance to do so. How can I make this happen?”
We like to think that it’s never too early to start following your passion and developing your interests. So, we make sure those opportunities are available.
Have an innovative idea but don’t know how to make it a reality? You’re not alone. See how young students turned their creative solutions into finished projects over the summer in our TU20 Fellowships program.
University Guidance
“What’s university life like? How much is the workload? How do I know which university to apply to? How do I know which program to study?”
At our University Guidance series, we answer all these questions and more, courtesy of people currently in university. We’ve had students from U of T, Western and Waterloo join us to talk about their experience and answer any questions you might have. See when we’ll be running our series next here.
We host the series on our Discord server, use this link to join: https://discord.gg/MZGwqAD
