Graduate School & Yearlong Fellowships: Work Experience  

Education Pioneers Fellows gain full-time experience managing a critical consulting project based on their skills, backgrounds, and professional experiences for one of our high-quality Partner organizations.  With a clearly defined, manageable scope of work and the supervision of an experienced organization leader, Fellows are supported to make an impact and have a challenging and fulfilling summer.

What can you do in 10 weeks or 12 months?  Our Fellows complete projects such as developing a student achievement data system for a school district, preparing growth and quality expansion plans for charter schools, and performing advocacy work to support school turnaround strategies. In addition, past Fellows have:

  • Managed a $600,000 charter school facility renovation,
  • Presented policy recommendations to the Secretary of Education
  • Forecasted the effects of a school district's human capital initiatives
  • Designed professional development curriculum for a school
  • Conducted legal research for education-related litigation

Among the rewards of this work is the opportunity to make a significant impact while maximizing your diverse interests, skills, and experiences, unmatched in any other industry.
