Apply for the Ember Fellowship today!

If you are a recent grad or about to graduate and you are sitting there thinking,
βI just need someone to give me a real chanceββ¦ this is for you π
One of the biggest lies we are told early in our careers is that we have to start big. Big brand. Big title. Big salary. Big name on the resume.
But the truth is, careers are not built by big doors.
They are built by small doors that lead to real experience πͺβ¨
And that is why I want to tell you about the Ember Fellowship π₯
This is not an internship.
This is not busy work.
This is not fetching coffee or sitting in the back of a Zoom room.
The Ember Fellowship is a career-launching program for early-career talent who want to work inside real startups and fast-growing tech companies and actually do the work that builds businesses π»π
Here is what Ember Fellows get ππ½
β¨ Two full years of professional experience in real startup and tech roles
β¨ In-person summer training in Atlanta and New York focused on startup fundamentals, AI-first skills, and professional development
β¨ Mentorship and coaching from industry leaders who have actually done the work
β¨ A powerful community of ambitious peers and alumni across the innovation ecosystem
β¨ Access to leaders and real opportunities in cities like Detroit, Atlanta, and Birmingham
β¨ A serious competitive edge to fast-track your career in the innovation economy
This is the kind of opportunity that does not always look flashy on the outside, but completely changes what is possible for you on the inside π«
Startups teach you things big companies cannot.
You learn how things work.
You learn how to solve problems.
You learn how to be valuable π§ π
And that is what creates leverage for the rest of your career.
If you are ready to stop waiting for a break and start building one, this is your sign πͺ
Applications for the Ember Fellowship are open now π₯
The deadline to apply is January 20th β°
