The GWV Fellowship uses a four-pronged approach to address professional development, community engagement and networking. Fellows will:
Ranging from networking to project management and more, skills honed during the program can be applied to any position and benefit both the individual Fellow and the organizations they serve.
Fellows learn from each other and create lasting bonds that extend beyond their fellowship year. Fellows also gain access to an alumni network that spans a wide range of sectors and regions around West Virginia.
With guest speakers spanning a variety of industries, Fellows learn about different avenues of success that enable them to better forge their paths.
