Creative Tech Internship: Deadline to Apply 9/16
September 16 @ 10:00 am - 3:30 pm EDT
$350
The TKU Creative Tech Internship (CTI) is designed for teenagers and young adults ages 16 to 24 who learn differently and are interested in pursuing careers or studies in creative technology fields. This program serves as a bridge between educational experiences and professional environments.
Starting this fall, CTI interns will meet weekly on Fridays to develop essential workplace, social, emotional, and tech skills. They will explore various career paths in tech, including digital marketing, artificial intelligence, coding, game design, video production, and more. Throughout the program, interns will collaborate with their peers on a series of projects, building their portfolios and resumes. By the end of the program, interns will have gained valuable experience and a clearer understanding of their strengths, interests, and future goals.
TKU is looking for dedicated candidates who will consistently attend the program, either for school credit or out of a commitment to preparing for a career in technology.
