Year Up provides a unique opportunity for young adults to develop both technical and professional skills, while also offering access to a vast network of employers and mentors. I joined to gain valuable skills and experience in a rapidly-growing industry. I'm finding it easy to balance both school and Year Up. For whatever reason I need anything I have a group of amazing staff members that could provide me with the help I need. Being 10 weeks in has already given me an upper hand with professional etiquette and many programs used in the workplace. The program is a necessity if you’re looking for an opportunity to jumpstart your career.
