The Leadership Fellows Program creates an opportunity for early-career professionals to gain hands-on experience as broad-based analysts in a range of Bank departments. This fast-paced yet challenging program offers rotational assignments to Leadership Fellows as they progress through entry-, junior-, and senior-level positions. No matter what career path is on the horizon, the program offers a rich and rewarding experience for all participants.
Recent Leadership Fellows Reflect on Their Experiences
“The Leadership Fellows Program greatly enriched my overall experience at the Bank by providing me with
a cohort of like-minded colleagues. They provided a sense of community that quickly led to strong
relationships and a great support system across the Bank. During my second yearlong rotation in the External
Affairs Department, I had never considered working in government relations before joining the department.
But I realized that this area suited my existing skill set and helped me develop additional skills such as
strategic planning.”
-- Emma Oakley
“The Leadership Fellows Program places learning and personal growth at
its core. This is also my first full-time work experience after graduating with a degree in applied
mathematics in May 2020. Now, I have the opportunity to not only hone my current strengths in a variety of
Bank functions but also to acquire new skills that will ultimately guide my career path moving
forward.”
-- Peter Psathas
“Both of my rotations have sharpened my analytical skill set and fine
tuned my communication skills. Leading meetings with different business areas has helped me to communicate
better and establish more connections across the Bank. The Bank cares about investing in its Leadership
Fellows, and I appreciate the opportunity to participate in various leadership courses, such as Dale
Carnegie, the mentorship program, and other leadership panels.”
