KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Western Michigan University graduate Tinashe Chaponda has been named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list just days before his 30th birthday.
He was a Kalamazoo Promise scholarship recipient, graduating from Loy Norrix High School and earning his degree from WMU in 2016.
He says his dad was spreading the word around town when they found out about the honor.
Chaponda has launched a new program called Project 30-30-30, creating a one-year career incubator for Generation Z because he noticed they have a difficult time acquiring the right skills to hold on to jobs in a fast-growing digital society.
