Our Programs
Our programs mix the best of both Washington and Silicon Valley, bringing together stakeholders in policy and technology to train the next generation of policy entrepreneurs.
Update: We announced on February 19 the Savilla Pitt Memorial Fellowship, which awards one member of each incoming Hub cohort an expenses-paid trip to visit DC and continue their work. As a result of this new opportunity, we have extended our application deadline to March 1.
At the Aspen Tech Policy Hub, we take tech experts, teach them the policy process through fellowship and executive education programs, and encourage them to develop outside-the-box solutions to society’s problems. The Hub currently runs two main programs to achieve this goal:
- The Aspen Tech Policy Hub Fellowship is a full-time, paid, ten-week program that teaches technology experts the policy process through an in-residence program in the Bay Area. The program is ideal for technologists interested in building better tech policy, whether that be within government or more broadly as an external advocate or from within the tech industry. It is particularly well-suited to applicants who have existing tech policy ideas they wish to refine and press forward. Admitted applicants receive an $18,000 stipend to enable their participation. While the Hub fellowship is normally full-time and in-person, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, any Fellowship program we hold is likely to be a mix of in-person and online programming until a vaccine is widely available.
- The Tech Executive Leadership Initiative (TELI) is a part-time, unpaid, online, ten-week program, co-sponsored by the Hub, that provides senior technology professionals with a unique leadership opportunity to strengthen their executive skills through real-world engagement with government problems. Through experiential learning with real government technology policy challenges, leaders hone their skills to work effectively with dedicated public servants and mitigate risk on technology projects. This program is ideal for senior executives who are interested in future federal government service or in otherwise honing their skills to engage more effectively with governments. The program is mainly online, but may include a weekend immersion retreat if one can safely be held.
More information about these programs can be found in the table below and our Fellowship and TELI pages below.
