In 2011, after finishing an acting workshop established by actor Pen Medina, Young decided to become a model and appeared on different catalogs across Cebu. During an interview with Sun.Star, Young stated that he was aspiring to be branded as a matinée idol.[1]

Slater Young officially launched his career by winning the reality show Pinoy Big Brother: Unlimited.

Weeks after his winning, Young made several guest appearances in the network and with the premier of the new season of Pinoy Big Brother only a week after his victory, speculations rose that he is pressured of debuting quickly to the entertainment industry.[3] On April 13, Young played his first acting role as a guest star in the series finale of E-Boy opposite Jessy Mendiola.[4] On April 28, Young continued his acting stint via the drama anthology Maalaala Mo Kaya as Andrei with veteran actress, Dimples Romana, and PBB: Unlimited's 4th Big Placer, Paco Evangelista.[5]
