Meet our Cohorts
Pilot Cohort
Convened 33 early-career professionals with half of the participants being veterans or active-duty military, selected from more than 300 applicants.
Content was delivered in partnership with McChrystal and included Gen. John Allen, and Steve Blank, founder of Lean Startup, as guest speakers.
The curriculum was organically designed by young people for their peers to address common shortfalls in training pipelines across government and service agencies.
Between core sessions, participants engaged in networking sessions to build a virtual community and continue to support each other in their professional development.
Participants engaged in 14 hours of sessions over two weekends covering design thinking, lean start-up methodologies, and strengths-based leadership.
Continued Monthly Programming for EaGLE Alumni
A special attribute of EaGLE cohort participants is their driven nature to invest in their personal and professional development. As the number of cohorts continues to grow, the EaGLE Program’s goal is to provide continued programming that meets the need of these dynamic, emerging leaders.
Monthly virtual and in-person programming events will take place on the last Tuesday of each month, ranging from guest speakers and career panel discussions, to networking across cohorts as one EaGLE family.
These monthly events also serve to connect the community in between annual EaGLE Summits, where all alumni can congregate in a formal setting and continue driving career development for themselves and their peers.
