Young Enterprising Society (YES) and National Association of Black Accountants – Milwaukee chapter, in sponsorship by Northwestern Mutual, will host Tech+: an eight-week summer program that will train 25 students from June 7, 2021 through August 6, 2021.
Applications are currently open and close on April 11, 2021. It is a two-part application: one for the student and one for the parent. Students are required to have their parent or legal guardian assist them with the application process.
The program will be modeled around technology and entrepreneurship. YES intends to develop a pipeline of diverse students who have the capacity to code, design and develop computer programs. Programming will also include off-site field trips.
