The
second cohort of Saltire Fellows arrived on Babson's campus on
September 13 to begin a 14-week program designed to develop their
entrepreneurial leadership skills, including their sales and marketing
capabilities and general business aptitude. These 10 individuals were
carefully selected through a rigorous screening process based on their
potential to make a significant economic and social contribution to
Scotland's future.
The Saltire Fellowship is a world-class,
year long program that equips the Fellows with the skills and attitude
required to take a leadership role within Scottish business. It blends
an intensive learning opportunity at Babson College, the #1 ranked
business school in the world for entrepreneurship, with an international
assignment at a major, global company followed by a second job
placement at a Scottish high-growth small- to medium-sized enterprise.
“I’m thrilled to welcome the 10 new Saltire Fellows to Babson College
for what promises to be a transformational experience for the
individuals and a huge opportunity for Scotland's future,” said Les
Charm, Faculty Director and Entrepreneurship Professor.
