2024 Emerging Leaders Cohort

Designed for education sector leaders from the field, The 2024 Emerging Leaders Cohort is a learning and leadership opportunity that brings together early career leaders who are engaged in building a modernized digital ecosystem in their district.

We aim to build a supportive talent pipeline for early-career data professionals within education. This initiative will strengthen the understanding of foundational interoperability issues and expose them to a network of engaged professionals. We plan to build capacity in the field through meaningful connections with implementors.

Who Should Apply?

Early career district and charter leaders, especially those who feel siloed or are just starting their interoperability journey, are eligible to apply. This also applies to those seeking support and interested in cohort-based learning. Personnel from educational service agencies, support agencies, and state agencies are also welcome to apply!
