Hear the stories of startup leaders working in project management who started their careers with Venture for America and gain insight into how the Fellowship shaped their entrepreneurial careers.

During this event you will hear about Venture For America and how the VFA Fellowshipcan be a launching pad for your career. You'll also get the opportunity to hear from one of our alumni, Jad Hamdan ('21 Detroit) directly about his VFA experience, and working in project management.

Venture For America aims to mobilize the next generation of entrepreneurs and equip them with experience, training, and community to become startup leaders and founders. During the two-year Fellowship, our Fellows are salaried, full-time employees at startups or high-growth companies in one of our 13 cities, with many working in project management roles.

Through the program, Fellows find lifelong friends, an entrepreneurial community, and a network of individuals to help take their career and ambitions to the next level. We’ll walk you through our mission, entrepreneurial programming available to our Fellows, how Fellows find their job, and what it's like to be a member of the VFA community and network. We'll close out with a Q&A with our panelist.

Venture For America Fellows work in a range of roles and industries. In this event, we'll highlight one of our most common roles for Fellows, which is project management. Project Management involves the planning and organization of a company's resources to move a specific task, event, or duty toward completion. It can involve a one-time project or an ongoing activity, and resources managed include personnel, finances, technology, and intellectual property, and more.

To apply to Venture For America's 2024 Fellowship class you must be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident or DACA recipient, and graduated from your undergraduate program between 2021 and June 2024.
