Cohort 1: Building Direction Through Exposure
30 fellows, 19 universities, mentors, online sessions, and selected in-person exposure spaces.

Cohort 2 launching August. A 15-day structured, fully-funded hybrid career access journey.
Online exposure across sectors, identities, and career worlds — so fellows can see more paths before they choose one.
One-on-one mentor conversations shaped around each fellow's interests.
In-person company visits, innovation spaces, and professional rooms fellows usually cannot access alone.
