  • WIN strongly believes that these are three rapidly growing areas that will have tremendous impact in the decades to come. Add to that, WIN's CEO has built his career and tremendous network in these disciplines.

    There are indeed many subject areas other than STEM, finance, and entrepreneurship that one could explore.

    If there is a strong demand for other career areas, we may re-evaluate in the future. But for now, this is our niche.

  • Each cohort will have a variety of speakers each week working in STEM, finance, and entrepreneurship, approximately an equal number of each per cohort.

    Additionally, WIN believes it is important to have different perspectives. As such, speakers may include those early in their career journeys, mid-career and even executives.

  • Students who participate in the Explorer package meet 1x a week for up to 60 minutes. After all, students have homework and other activities. This is meant to be informative and fun!

  • No. Students have enough pressure as it is! And one of the reasons WIN was created was to offer students an opportunity to explore early on before additional pressures particularly in junior and senior years of high school.

Package specific questions

  • The Explorer package is great for students who show interest in STEM, finance and entrepreneurship and may be unsure about what potential careers in these fields could be.

    Think of them like phoning a friend!
