The defining YTILI program activity is a five-week U.S.-based fellowship for European participants including a four-week placement in a professionally relevant U. S. business and mentorship from American peers in those organizations.
The U.S.-based exchange should also provide Fellows with opportunities to complement their professional fellowship through workshops, peer-to-peer learning, and networking activities.
