Applications are now being accepted for the Global Pathways for Students (GPS) Albrecht Fellowship Program at the World Trade Center Institute.
The GPS Program is designed to prepare college students for the competitive job market. By leveraging a vast regional network, 20-25 high-achieving students from various universities and colleges around the region have the opportunity to get their foot in the door of 9 different globally-minded companies, jumpstarting their practical skill development and professional network. Past participating companies of the program include Lockheed Martin, Stanley Black & Decker, Ciena, Under Armour, McCormick, PeaceCorps, and the U.S. State Department.
