The first step was a 30-minute phone chat with someone who was part of the fellowship before. Then, there was a 45-minute Skype call with the program manager. They got back to me with a decision really quickly.

Then, you will be put in touch with an alum for your first interview. Upon successful completion of your second interview, you are then scheduled for another interview with a New Sector staff member. The last step is to get accepted into the program. After being accepted into the program, you then interview with host sites to find the right fit for your summer.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

After you submit your application, you might be invited for an interview during the Winter. You have multiple location options across the US, but PiA won't pay for your travel. You'll find out if you're moving on by March. Teachers get assigned a post. If you're looking for an NGO role, PiA will 'nominate' you, and then the host company will interview you, likely on Skype. Once they approve, you'll officially get the post.
