    Why PATHS

    The world is changing faster than traditional education can keep up. Many professionals enter the workplace with knowledge but without the skills to navigate real-world complexity, such as managing projects, working across disciplines, making sound financial decisions, or sustaining wellbeing under pressure.

    ​

    PATHS fills that gap.

    ​

    This Fellowship focuses on how to think, how to work, and how to grow. Skills you can apply immediately in your studies, career, or community initiatives.
