The meetings can take place on the phone, video conferences, or in person.
- Workshops: UP Fellows will participate in a series of professional development workshops and webinars through the course of the 6-month program.

- Set clear career goals

- Build your network in order to succeed
- Develop strategies for navigating mid-career decisions
- Position yourself to rise up through the ranks
