Vision:
Focusing a passion in trade to develop professionals with impact.
Mission:
To bring together young professionals in an interactive environment to build relationships and expertise in trade.
YTP targets students, interns, and entry-level professionals who have an avid interest in trade and seek an opportunity to translate interest into experience.
As a Young Trade Professional, here is what YTP offers you:
-
Regular trade forums featuring both senior and mid-level professional guests. Forums are structured to elicit discussion that is as much career-oriented as it is content-oriented, acting as a resource for young professionals to acquire both advice and insight into professional development in addition to trade-related issues.
-
Happy hours to network and socialize with other young professionals who share a similar interest in trade. YTP also will feature quarterly happy hours in which senior/mid-level special guests are invited.
-
Opportunities to exhibit leadership and build practical experience in a number of ways by participating with leadership and volunteering talent and resources to conceive innovative ways to build and enhance YTP.
-
Membership and all events are free, which allows a level of accessibility otherwise unavailable to young professionals.
