Group Interviews

Fellows conduct interviews with prominent decision-makers in various industries. Through the group interviews, Fellows learn about the challenges and opportunities within each sector and gain important skills in collaboration and asking effective questions.

These confidential interviews allow the interviewee to speak more freely and give the Fellows a more accurate portrayal of what is really going on in each sector.
