BRAC’s Pathways to Prosperity Fellowship connects industry and education by pairing middle and high school principals and counselors with week-long externships in the healthcare, manufacturing, construction/skilled craft, and IT/software industries. Fellows participate onsite at BRAC’s partner companies to shadow workers in the field and engage in day to day operations. Fellows leave the program with the skills and knowledge necessary for success in target industries, trained to serve as ambassadors of those industries to their students, and as connectors between classroom and workplace concepts and skills. Selected fellows receive a stipend for their participation.
