What:
Generation T is a career exploration program, designed by T-Mobile in partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and After-School All-Stars (ASAS). The program, which was launched in October 2017, is designed to inspire youth to explore careers in technology and product innovation.

Since October 2017, T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile has hosted more than 2,200 youth (ages 11-18) and 1,100 employee mentors at more than 220 events. In celebration of the one-year anniversary of Generation T, the Un-carrier is super-charging the program by making it available to more than 1,110 youth across the country -- in just the month of October alone! 

At the Generation T events, participants will learn about careers in technology, interact with T-Mobile employees and leaders and get the opportunity to test out groundbreaking technologies such as virtual reality and 5G. Each participant will also go home with an awesome T-Mobile swag bag and get the chance to win special prizes like speakers, headphones and more!

“When we developed Generation T, we asked leading youth nonprofit organizations how we could help tackle the biggest challenges and they said that what young people want most is access to relatable mentors and hands-on experiences that can help them explore career options,” said Janice V. Kapner, executive vice-president, Communications and Community Engagement at T-Mobile US. “We are really thrilled that so many youth have participated – and even more excited to extend the program to more future tech leaders across the entire country!”

When & Where:          
During the month of October, Generation T events will take place in each of T-Mobile’s six signature stores, the T-Mobile Tech Experience Center and 30 T-Mobile retail trucks that will be traveling throughout the country.
