Co-Director Blogs: The Impact and Uniqueness of the TiE Young Entrepreneurs (TYE) Program

With our new cohort of TYE Students, I think it’s important to reflect on what TYE is, and what makes it a special program. TYE, specifically the TiE Young Entrepreneurs (TYE) is a global program that teaches students how they can make their own businesses and how to face any challenges they face on their journey. TYE is great because it also teaches fundamental ideas such as how to collaborate with teammates and ensure that they know how to manage a company with the lessons they learn.

What makes TYE so unique is the connections made throughout the program. During the students’ experience, they meet relevant industry leaders who constantly give advice on how they can keep improving on their projects. There is the added benefits of the student leadership, a group of TYE alumni who use their past experiences and knowledge to help students on a more personal level.

An enticing ending to the program would be to compete in the State competition where students will compete against teams not only that you learned concepts with, but with students from schools where we brought the curriculum into.

For anyone considering joining the program, I would have to say that it would benefit you a lot to join and gain all these new connections with industry leaders and other like-minded students.
