Fellowship Hosts
Matching with a Host Company

Fellowship candidates are carefully matched with participating companies based on the specific skills of the candidate and the preferences of both parties.

Once matched with a host company, candidates undergo exclusive on-the-job training at their host company, gaining firsthand experience in the private sector. This real-world experience is augmented by weekly educational sessions for the cohort, held in a classroom setting.
