Traverse City Young Professionals Team Up with Junior Achievement
to Launch Student Mentor Program
The Traverse City Young Professionals (TCYPs), a program of the Traverse City Area Chamber of Commerce, has partnered with the Northwest Michigan chapter of Junior Achievement to bring a professional student mentoring series to Traverse City.
The TCYP L.I.F.E. (Lessons In Future Endeavors) Mentoring Program, will include a variety of hands-on activities and skill-building opportunities that are essential to professional growth from an individual’s high school years through to their career, including time management, career paths, job interviewing, and public speaking. The series, which will be held from September through May at the Traverse Area District Library – Woodmere Branch, will conclude with a networking/etiquette dinner where students will be able to put their newly learned and improved skills to the test.
Students who are interested in registering for the series can go to:
