Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Impact Accelerator Program for EA Professionals, published by High Impact Professionals on May 13, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
High Impact Professionals is excited to announce that applications are now open for the Summer 2024 round of our
Impact Accelerator Program (IAP). The IAP is a 6-week program designed to equip experienced EA-aligned professionals (not currently working at an EA organization) with the knowledge and tools necessary to make a meaningful impact and empower them to start taking actionable steps right away.
To date, the program has been a success, with several alumni having already changed careers to new impactful roles and nearly all participants planning to do the same in the next ~6 months. IAP alumni are also volunteering an average of ~100 hours at EA-aligned orgs/projects and donating on average more than 7% of their annual salary to effective charities. We are currently running the Spring 2024 round, which features a larger number of participants and cohorts.
We're pleased to open up this new Summer 2024 program round, which will start the week of July 15. More information is available below and
here. Please
apply here by May 23.
Program Objectives
The IAP is set up to help participants:
identify paths to impact,
take concrete, impactful actions, and
join a network of like-minded, experienced, and supportive EA professionals.
At the end of the program, a participant should have a good answer to the question "How can I have the most impact with my career, and what are my next steps?", and they should have taken the first steps in that direction.
