Phase 1: Virtual global community and consulting project
Dates: TBD
Part-time (four to six hours a week)
Begin your leadership journey in a unique virtual global community with fellow Villagers from around the world and engage with alumni, faculty, leaders, and changemakers. Work in a cross-cultural and geographically diverse team on a flexible seven-week consulting project with an international client. Develop a personal leadership action plan in a Clifton Strengths leadership assessment and coaching workshop. In addition to your own Villager cohort, engage with others from the Iacocca Global Village and other Institute programs, as well as mentors and guests, through our virtual roommate experiences and gathering spaces.
PHASE 2: LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY
Dates: TBD
After Phase 1, stay in touch online and then travel to a five-day residency in another country (TBD). There you will meet fellow Villagers in person and collaborate to complete a Sustainable Development Goal Challenge. You will work with mentors and others to enhance your leadership skills, enjoy local culture and site visits, and engage with community leaders. After the program, you will join the Global Village Network of 2,450+ alumni from 141 countries.* Location will be determined by program diversity and travel restrictions.
* Location will be determined by program diversity and travel restrictions. Villagers will be split into two cohorts for the in-person residency. The two workshops will take place Nov. 5-11 and Nov. 12-18. Participants will NOT get to choose which week they attend. Alumni must not apply if not available for either week.
All program fees, including travel to and from the conference venues, meals, accommodation, and visa expenses are fully covered by the U.S. Department of State.
