Learn local, act global.
International internships, events and opportunities.
The Academy knows that you don't get to the top by standing still or exclusively sitting in a class room.
The understanding that real leadership is built on relationships, empathy and a wider experience of the world is what encourages The Academy to offer remarkable opportunities to participate in top-level conferences and volunteer programs, nationally and internationally.
