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.

**Content Note: As this program is designed for neurodiverse students or students with IEPs, please note that diagnosis may be brought up in various discussions. This program will cover self-advocacy in the workplace, including topics such as disability rights, self- advocacy, disclosure, accommodations, disability rights, and sexual harassment.**

FEES
For candidates who will not be receiving school credit there will be a one-time $350 fee for participation. There is need-based financial aid available for this fee, and there may be alternative ways to access this course with OPWDD Self-Direction or Access-VR funds.
