The E4 Youth Summit is just under 1 month away. So, it’s time to fill you in on what exactly we’re doing. The summit is the kick off to a year round initiative that focuses on the sequence of Engagement, Education, Employment & Entrepreneurship for Youth. E4 Youth Initiative helps students identify their passions, explore careers, build quality portfolios and receive employment opportunities.
We are building Vertical Teams made up of entrepreneurs, professionals, UT graduate and undergraduate mentors along with our youth who collaborate on special projects centered around the four broad fields of Media Communications, STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering & Math), Entrepreneurship and the Arts.
The FREE morning break out sessions of the summit will provide info for entrepreneurs and professionals on how they can serve as mentors, host tours and employ local youth as well as teachers and organizations who serve youth.
During the 2011 – 2012 school year, the Media Communications Council is offering up to $1000 stipends, training and technical support to teachers willing take students through the E4 sequence!
The afternoon sessions will feature a Non-Profit Roundtable and interactive discussions with professionals from music, entertainment, media, advertising and film about what it takes to build careers in the creative fields.
