KOCH ASSOCIATE PROGRAM
The Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation
Koch Associate Program
Washington, DC June 2006 - may 2007
Program overview: The Koch Associate Program was established to identify up and coming leaders and entrepreneurs interested in liberty and to help them develop the knowledge, skills and experience necessary for careers with market-oriented think tanks, policy institutes, and other non-profit organizations.
Program Description: The Koch Associate Program seeks to identify and develop 20 promising leaders and entrepreneurs who are interested in pursuing careers in market-oriented think tanks, policy institutes, and other non-profit organizations. The program offers these entrepreneurs the opportunity to work on significant assignments within non-profit organizations while simultaneously learning and applying Market Based Management®.
During the year-long program, Associates are based in Washington, D.C., and spend four days each week at non-profit organizations working in full-time positions and one day each week at the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation immersed in a Market Based Management® curriculum.
The non-profit assignments cover fascinating areas such as government affairs, fundraising, and non-profit operations, and allow Associates to explore specific areas of interest within the organizations. Every assignment comes with significant responsibility. Associates have the chance to demonstrate their talents and the opportunity to earn more responsibility if they perform their jobs well. Associates witness first-hand the nuts and bolts of non-profit work, including how decisions are made, how projects are prioritized, which capabilities are necessary for an organization to operate smoothly, and the challenges faced in a non-profit environment. Over the course of the year, Associates share their diverse experiences with the group, creating a unique learning opportunity unparalleled in other development programs.
Associates are employees of the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation and receive a competitive wage and benefits package commensurate with experience.
Applications must be postmarked by April 1, and the program will begin June 5, 2006. For an application, please see our website, www.kochfoundation.org, or email Liz Brannen, Liz.Brannen@cgkfoundation.org.
