  4. Participate in three core development sessions focused on accountability, communication and collaboration and engage in Early Talent team events to build essential leadership competencies and peer connections.
  5. Submit a weekly and monthly report summarizing key learnings, challenges and questions to ensure continuous engagement and visibility to program leaders.
