Academy for Cultivating Talent
The Academy will rigouously engage participants in moving to the next level of development in three areas: personal, professional, and civic engagement.
Academy participants will develop the skills necessary to strengthen their ability to influence, strengthen their personal and professional networks, and establish a mentor relationship with an individual at an earlier stage of career development and/or civic engagement.
The Academy will be an intensive development experience, and will include the following research-based program components:
- Full-day sessions will bring participants together for learning and networking. Sessions will focus on personal development, professional development, and community engagement. Senior-level speakers/role models will be brought in to lead these sessions.
- Individualized coaching driven by research-based assessment instruments will be used to identify gaps and strengths and, from those, each participant will craft a unique development plan.
- A structured mentor development process will be established that includes opportunities to both be mentored and to mentor. The process will provide the skill development and frameworks necessary for participants to establish their own “board of advisors” while also learning how to mentor others effectively.
- Field visits to businesses and networks in nearby urban markets.
- Based on personal passion, participants will study a community issue, initiative, or not-for-profit organization through the lens of using philanthropy as a vehicle for social change.
