The Koch Associate Program: Great Job Opportunities in the Non-Profit Sector

The Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2009-10 Koch Associate Program.  This is a very selective career opportunity for bright, talented young professionals who are interested in pursuing a career advancing the ideas of a free society. 

The Koch Associate Program is designed to help individuals develop the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary for a successful future with free-market think tanks, policy institutes, or other non-profit organizations.  During the year-long program, each Associate works in a full-time, competitively paid position, while also receiving valuable management training.  One day each week is spent in a seminar setting at the Foundation, where the Associates engage in reading discussions and group projects, network with their peers, listen to guest speakers, and learn how to apply Market-Based Management^® in a non-profit setting through interactive exercises and workshops.  This unique format provides the Associates with both the practical work experience and developmental instruction that will benefit their professional careers moving forward.

There are many positions still available for next year’s program, including roles working in policy research and analysis, non-profit operations, communication and public relations, management, business development, and new media.

Associates range in experience from recent graduates to those with up to ten years of work experience, and they come from diverse fields and academic majors.  To apply for the program, visit: www.cgkfoundation.org/associate-program, and click on the link titled “Application Requirements.”  The application deadline is March 16, 2009.
