The BSIA sends warm congratulations to MIPP graduates Asha Harris and Adwoa Konadu-Yiadom who have both been accepted into the Toronto Urban Fellows program offered by the City of Toronto. The program is extremely competitive, selecting just 16 Fellows out of hundreds of applicants each year. It provides an intensive introduction to the governance, operations and administration of Canada’s largest city through a combination of full-time work experience and a series of seminars, tours and workshops.
Toronto Urban Fellows complete two six-month project assignments in two different divisions at the City of Toronto. These full-time, project-based professional development opportunities are enhanced by monthly Learning Series events that connect Urban Fellows with leaders at the City of Toronto and in the broader community.
Fellows make important contributions to the City of Toronto’s policy and research agenda, provide fresh perspectives on complex issues, and undertake essential program development and evaluation activities.
