As you are well aware, one of the biggest things keeping your graduating seniors up at night is anxiety about landing a job after graduation. Fortunately, Connecticut has introduced a new program to help them do just that!
The program, called the Governor’s Innovation Fellowship, aims to pair talented seniors who are interested in tech careers with Connecticut companies. This year, 20 graduating seniors who are employed in tech-related jobs in Stamford, Connecticut will be named innovation fellows, receive a $5,000 grant to help them get settled, and get invited to curated events to help them become more involved in the Stamford business community!
There are two ways to become an Innovation Fellow:
- Recent and soon-to-be grads who have secured a tech-related job in Stamford can apply for the Fellowship.
- Recent and soon-to-be grads who are looking for a tech-related job in Stamford can apply for the Fellowship and will be connected to employment opportunities.
