What Will This Be Like?

The goal is to help the next generation of talent get better at collective problem solving. Squads of three to four diverse students work together to solve a real problem for a real business. You will work with a team of peers to design and propose a solution that you will pitch to your business partner at a public Pitch Event. Throughout the experience, you and your team will be coached by NOW mentors. In short, this experience is designed to help you develop the mindsets and tools needed for the future of work.
