Koch Associate Program
Recent college graduates and young professionals should look at the Koch Associate Program.
The Koch Associate Program is a very selective, one year, paid career opportunity for bright, talented people who are interested in working within the non-profit sector. During the program, Associates work full-time four days a week; a full list of the organizations where Associates work along with some examples of the types positions can be found on our website. Then, one day each week, Associates come together in a seminar setting at the Foundation to engage in reading discussions and group projects, network with their peers, listen to guest speakers, and learn how to apply Market-Based Management® in a non-profit setting through interactive exercises and workshops.
Associates range in experience from recent graduates to those with up to ten years of work experience, and they come from diverse fields and academic backgrounds. To learn more about the program and the Foundation, please visit www.cgkfoundation.org.
