MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership

Global Apprenticeship

Embarking on a global apprenticeship
One of the distinguishing features of the MIT Sloan Fellows Program is the intense degree of real-world experience it offers.

• Consultation with faculty, who are among the world's top management experts, and with industry and government powerbrokers who are at the forefront of global leadership.
• Access to and participation in late-breaking research that will influence the way the world works. Participants have the opportunity to work on global projects in connection with coursework or research.
• Team building with talented peers — an intensive experience that yields a wide range of vital lessons, including cultural awareness, knowledge about industry and late-breaking innovations, and new methods of evaluating problems and opportunities.
• Frank discussions with many of the world's top CEOs about the key challenges they face every day. Participants learn firsthand lessons from these prominent leaders, who candidly share their successes, their mistakes, and their hard-won wisdom.

It might take a decade or more to build this level of experience on the job. In fact, very few organizations can offer this degree of strategic external exposure to the international marketplace.
