FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WIN is for all high school students with a focus on sophomore and junior year students.

However, we are open to all high school students who demonstrate strong willingness to learn, network, and be part of the cohort.

WIN is a perfect compliment to the academic work that schools and test prep centers already provide.

We teach the "soft" skills (we dare to say essential skills) that are often overlooked.

Together, we are able to give students the skills, networks and the platform so they can succeed in whatever and wherever is next.

For the pilot, we are accepting all students who demonstrate a willingness to explore and learn. WIN wants to learn too so lets do this together to make this great.

In the near future, students will need to apply for the 100 spots in the cohort. A small cohort ensures that students are able to effectively build community with each other and the speakers.

More details to come on future application requirements.

WIN strongly believes that these are three rapidly growing areas that will have tremendous impact in the decades to come. Add to that, WIN's CEO has built his career and tremendous network in these disciplines.

There are indeed many subject areas other than STEM, finance, and entrepreneurship that one could explore.

If there is a strong demand for othe career areas, we may re-evaluate in the future.

Each cohort will have a variety of speakers each week working in STEM, finance, and entrepreneurship, approximately an equal number of each per cohort.

Additionally, WIN believes it is important to have different perspectives. As such, speakers may include those early in their career journeys, mid-career and even executives.

In addition to specific career exploration, WIN believes that interactive activities and discussions are also crucial.

An example of an activity for students interested in entrepreneurship could be the opportunity to do a pitch with feedback from a Venture Capitalist.

Each cohort is about 8-10 weeks in length consisting of weekly webinars.

Each webinar is up to 60 minutes. The breakdown is as follows:

15-20 minutes will be an interactive presentation from the subject matter expert

30 minutes of Q&A and networking

Remaining time is for an optional interactive activity or discussion.

WIN believes strongly in consistency and curiosity. As such, no two weeks are exactly the same. We hope that you come into each session with an open mind to learn, ask questions, and gain a different perspective.

We also encourage students to be present. That means, lets try to be phones free!

No. Students have enough pressure as it is! And one of the reasons WIN was created was to offer students an opportunity to explore early on before additional pressures particularly in junior and senior years of high school.
