Why it works
What the semester gives you.
You join a small group of Jewish students and sit across the table from executives who have built real careers: founders, partners, and senior leaders who want to help. You hear how they actually got there, ask the questions you care about, and leave with relationships you can call on for years.
- Real relationships with more than 60 executives
- Honest answers about how careers actually work
- Clarity on internships, jobs, and the path to them

In their words
What students say.
It doesn't even feel like networking because we're already family.
Eli
Alumni of the Networking Accelerator
It was very meaningful to be in a room surrounded by professionals who are doing exactly what I do.
Elijah
Alumni of the Networking Accelerator
This has nothing to do with stalking someone on LinkedIn and hoping and praying to talk to them once. This has everything to do with being a family and these top executives taking a real interest in our success.
Simona
