The ACS Young Tech Ambassadors (YTA) program – can you help fund the young tech professionals of the future?

^Highlights

• The YTA program empowers emerging digital professionals to deliver school presentations that inspire the next generation of tech talent.

The ACS Young Tech Ambassadors (YTA) program empowers emerging digital professionals to deliver school presentations that inspire the next generation of tech talent. YTAs share personal stories about their study and career pathways, what it’s like to work in tech, and their aspirations for the future.

These personalised insights highlight the benefits of tech careers and answer students’ questions—bringing clarity to those already considering a digital future and sparking interest in those who hadn’t previously considered this path.
