Introducing the 2015 Class of Robert Bosch Foundation Fellows

 
NEW YORK - June 16, 2015 - PRLog -- Cultural Vistas is pleased to announce the 32nd class of Robert Bosch Foundation Fellows.

Since its inception in 1984, the Robert Bosch Foundation Fellowship Program has annually provided young American leaders the opportunity to advance their careers through a comprehensive professional development experience while immersed in the political, economic, and cultural environment of Germany and the European Union.

The program is fully funded by the Robert Bosch Stiftung, one of the largest foundations in Germany, and endeavors to develop a new generation of Americans committed to strengthening transatlantic relations.

This is the second year of a revitalized program, which offers additional flexibility. By including a broader range of professional fields, different program duration options, and updated eligibility requirements, the Bosch Fellowship aims to include more mid-career professionals from a wider variety of backgrounds in order to extend its reach and create even deeper ties within the transatlantic sphere.

The 32nd fellowship class consists of 15 emerging leaders from across the United States in the fields of education, law, government, economic policy, and urban planning, among others.

The 2015-2016 Bosch Fellows participated in three months of intensive private language tutoring in their hometowns, and will spend the summer in group language classes in Germany. Depending on their elected program length, Fellows will participate in a series of two or three professional seminars across Europe beginning in September and complete one or two high-level work assignments at leading German institutions.

Each seminar lasts a week or longer and is designed to expose the Fellows to an array of German, European, and transatlantic issues, as well as enhance their personal leadership development. During the work assignments, Fellows work directly in their field of expertise alongside key decisions makers from Germany's public and private sectors.

Since the inaugural group of Bosch Fellows began their transatlantic journey in the summer of 1984, more than 500 young Americans have taken part in this intensive intercultural professional experience.
