NORTH LAKE TAHOE
The Truckee Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Town of Truckee, Tahoe Truckee Unified School District, Truckee Donner Public Utility District, Tahoe Forest Health System, Truckee Tahoe Airport District, Cal Fire, and the California Highway Patrol are excited to announce the third year of Truckee North Tahoe Tech Teens (TNT Tech Teens), a workforce initiative focused on promoting the diverse range of tech-related jobs available to Truckee and Tahoe students.
Running from March 19 through May 7, this free, seven-week program connects Truckee and North Tahoe high school students with technology careers within local public agencies. Students will explore how technology is used in real-world settings and gain insight into diverse career paths available in the region. The series also strengthens connections between students and local organizations, helping cultivate future talent and a workforce equipped with in-demand skills.
Local high schoolers are invited to dive deep into the technology powering the community and learn the behind the scenes of how important technology is to the success of Truckee and North Lake Tahoe. Throughout the program, students will experience hands-on learning at key locations and explore technologies such as air traffic control towers at the Truckee Tahoe Airport, surgery robots at Tahoe Forest Hospital, and cybersecurity best practices. The TNT Tech Teens program culminates in a career-building workshop that equips students with valuable resume and interview skills. Students who complete the entire program will receive a certificate of completion from the Town of Truckee mayor.
TNT Tech Teens is a free program open to all 9th to 12th grade students living in Truckee and North Lake Tahoe. Students interested in participating must apply by Feb. 20.
