Innovation Fellows Overview
The UPCI Innovation Fellows program attracts talented leaders and professionals for an accelerated “tour of service” alongside UPCI leaders to foster new ideas and execute priority projects in an innovative environment.
This highly-competitive program among UPCI professionals pairs talented, diverse change agents and innovators with leadership working to improve present programs and tackle some of our biggest challenges. UPCI Innovation Fellows infuse fresh knowledge in business, technology, marketing, entrepreneurship, leadership, finance, and organizational leadership.
Fellows are tasked with priority projects and present new perspectives during their tenure. Each Fellow works for 6 - 12 months and receives a funding stipend provided by the department. Fellows are expected to deliver on one or more major priorities and will be reviewed at the end of their tour.
