\nAs part of their mission, SuitUp strives to increase career readiness for all students with innovative business plan competitions that give students the access and awareness to pursue both college and career opportunities of their choosing. Students will learn about business strategies and hone their professional soft skills with the support of corporate volunteers. By the end of the challenge, students will have a deeper understanding of the corporate world and see it as part of their own.<\/p>\n

\nExecutive Director, Lauren Reilly, shared, \u201cSuitUp is intentional in the way we approach virtual learning and the outcomes we drive. And we don\u2019t take that charge lightly. Take on Tech is our commitment to providing high-quality, student-centered immersive experiences that drive career readiness outcomes. Through the program, we are bridging the opportunity gap between the corporate world and the realm of virtual schooling. We are proud that we can bring amazing corporate partners to the table to ensure that all students, regardless of where they live and what computer they log on from, have the awareness, access, and opportunity to pursue the college and career of their choosing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nStudent teams will be mentored by employees from technology companies including Snap Inc., Seeq, Amazon Web Services, Greenhouse Software, The TJX Companies, and Salesforce, who will help students refine their ideas, develop their brand, and execute their business pitch. Teams will face off against each other to make it to the final round judged by executives from the partner organizations.<\/p>\n

Salesforce<\/a> Account Executive and SuitUp volunteer Michael Culhane says, “I’m excited for the Take on Tech event for a couple of reasons! Having representation from multiple corporate partners in one event is going to bring an enhanced level of energy that I think our kids will feed off of. I’m always so excited to see what the kids come up with, but I think the access and diversity of company representation they will have will allow them to create at even higher levels. I can\u2019t wait!\u201d<\/p>\n

\nSuitUp\u2019s Take on Tech Challenge will be taking place on April 27 from 12 to 5PM on Zoom with the following Stride-powered schools competing:<\/p>\n
