Eight short dynamic videos (5-10 minutes each) and an acconpanying workbook. The experience is customized with supplemental live webinars.
Participants interview an "innovator" - someone who seems to be doing innovative work in an area that is personally of interest.
Participants create content based on their interview. Depending on the organization's goals, the article can be published on the Global Innovators Academy public facing content hub, the individual’s LinkedIn profile and/or via the organization's internal communications channels.
The timing will vary - typically it will be 1-2 months.

"The confidence and persistence to seek out innovators and build your social capital can be overwhelming for many students and young professionals. The Global Innovators Academy 's Interview an Innovator experience guides students on how to build a successful career network and grow their brand. This allows them to be distinguishable in the midst of all the disruptions taking place around us. I encourage every student and young professional to invest in this program because an investment in building your social network is paramount in our current job climate."

“Students and young professionals need to consider how they can enhance their marketability on a digital platform. I used to think it was daunting to market myself online. The Interview an Innovator course gave me confidence and taught me important content marketing principles, interview best practices and professional communication tactics. Conducting a meaningful interview with a State Senator exposed me to unique ways to build and nurture my network. The overall experience was enlightening and engaging.”
