If you are interested in business and are a part of a community often pushed out of or underrepresented in business spaces, consider applying for Product Prodigy or WEILD Texas!

Product Prodigy

The Product Prodigy Institute is a two-semester program spanning Spring-Fall that takes students from marginalized and underrepresented backgrounds through the process of learning the skills to launch their own venture. This premier career accelerator program is for students 18-25 years old who are interested in learning entrepreneurial thinking through the lens of product management and human-centered design.

WEILD Texas

WIELD Texas is a leadership-focused, three-year career incubator for women of color undergraduates at The University of Texas at Austin. Participants will benefit from a combination of professional skills development and personal support in order to help them advance to executive roles in corporate America. WIELD Texas acknowledges the complexity of gender and welcomes applicants who are cis and trans women, nonbinary, or agender.

If either of these sound like the right fit for you, apply by August 1!
