Programs

The programs offered by TU20 are available to help you follow a passion you believe in. With the TU20 Fellowship, you are given the required resources to innovate, create and make your idea a reality. With the TU20 Co-op, you are able to work in real-life environments with other professionals before you commit to a job. These programs truly give you a sense of how to thrive in post-secondary and for what comes after.

Chapters

The chapters that TU20 runs are our in-school clubs lead by our chapter presidents. These chapters present new opportunities, events and programs held by TU20 to entrepreneurial students. With these chapters, students from Grade 9 to Grade 12 interested in technology and business can follow their ambitions. They learn new technology skills, how to thrive in post-secondary, how to turn an idea into reality, how to land a job and more.

Featured Event

Learn2GetHired

Learn2GetHired is an event we’ve been hosting annually ever since TU20 first started out! It’s a two day event focused on getting students employed in tech and business fields.

The first day consists of speakers and panels to give advice to students on how to get employed in these fields. There will be tips on writing resumes, doing interviews, networking, using social media and more. There are also panels from employers and students to talk about what it’s like to work in these industries.

The second day is for students to try and get themselves hired. Employers from local companies will be coming to look for students to employ over the summer. The students will pitch their skills and experience to each employer in a short amount of time. Afterwards, they will have the chance to follow up with any employers they’d like to talk to again.

“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

“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.

“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
