<span style="font-size: 14px">'''= Venture for America Fellowship'''</span>==
After acceptance into the program, fellows commit to training and a two year commitment of work.
At Through training, fellows are given the skills to hit the ground running. &nbsp;Training sessions include lectures, visits from investors, website design challenges, and practice with business creation. &nbsp;By the end of training, fellows are well versed in finance modeling, sales, public relations, branding, marketing and basic business/office etiquette [1].
Fellows are then matched with the company of best fit to them through an intense matchmaking match-making process including preferences and phone/in person interviews. &nbsp;Companies must be able to show high growth potential (energy, biotech, health, information, technology, consumer markets) and are required to commit to $32-38k in salary (plus benefits), pay $2,500 to fund the fellow's training, and agree to actively growing the candidate (e.g. Monthly onthly sit-downs with the CEO).
Fun Fact: Venture for America will still try and connect applicants with potential startups start-ups if they are not accepted into the fellowship.&nbsp;
<br/>== '''Appeal'''==
Venture for America appeals to young professionals in a few ways:
*Community: fellows build a sense of community with other inspired individuals
*Public Service: Fellows are doing a public good, both for local communities and America
