Build Skills, Be Ready
Opportunities are EVERYWHERE around you and REGISTRATIONS are OPEN
Your Big Year® is coming to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with our career-readiness program! In partnership with Visit Pittsburgh, Peace Through Tourism and Student Youth Travel Association (SYTA), we are offering youth, ages 14-20, a fully-funded, interactive workshop alongside SYTA’s Annual Conference!
Participants will gain critical career-ready skills, have the chance to connect and network with friendly and passionate leaders from the travel & tourism industry, gain clarity and confidence towards navigating their next steps, growing both personally & professionally. Did we mention that FREE lunch and a FREE event t-shirt is also included?
This program is run by high energy facilitators who maintain engaging participation. What makes this program more unique is that it is highly adaptable to specific needs of an institution, geographical location, and logistical requirements.
Our programming is based on 20+ years of experience working with young people, globally, and with leading technology companies to design products for the future of work and education.
Apply by May 31 for priority consideration.
We accept applications on a rolling basis until August 1.
Spaces are limited to just 150 participants.
