The Global Leaders and Professionals Program is exactly what it sounds like: a program for aspiring global leaders with a hands-on curriculum for improving and building professional skills including networking, resume workshops, negotiating salaries, communicating in a diverse workplace, and much more.
GLPP empowers students by teaching them the skills and mindset needed to successfully pursue their professional goals. We also explore topics in non-profit, public, and private sectors, meet representatives from companies and organizations such as Eli Lilly, Ascend Indiana, Peace Corps, and Booz Allen Hamilton, and even network with former United States ambassadors.
The Global Leaders & Professionals Program is open to all HLS majors and minors, graduates and undergraduates.
How to apply
GLPP students are committed to attending all sessions, eager to conduct job searches, and comfortable working in a collaborative setting. Recent alumni have secured positions at a range of exciting destinations, including the United Nations, US Department of State, Indiana International Center, DC-based policy organizations, and international finance firms.
