Over the course of the past five weeks we have seen incredible growth from our Winter 2024 cohort. Each Friday, interns return to the BroadFutures office to discuss progress made and challenges encountered in the workplace. Through training facilitated by our awesome team, interns have continued developing their professional skills, working on perspective taking, and building a personal profile full of tools they will carry with them throughout their professional careers.
In addition to peer-to-peer learning and training with BroadFutures staff, our cohort has had the opportunity to hear from a number of motivated and highly engaging self-advocates. This month’s guest speakers included Booz Allen Hamilton’s Pat Woodward, Maddie Snodgrass from the Public Religion Research Institute, and Dominique Cytryn from Serco. We extend a sincere thank you to these talented professionals for sharing their lived experience with our cohort!
Our interns have made great progress in the first few weeks of their internships and we are so impressed by their growth. We cannot wait to see what the coming months hold!

Employer Spotlight - International Finance Corporation
This month we would like to thank, and welcome, our first-time employer partner, International Finance Corporation (IFC). IFC is a leading global development institution advancing economic growth, creating opportunities, and improving lives on an international scale.

Thank you IFC team, we are so grateful for this partnership!
