CEDAM is partnering with the Detroit Revitalization Fellows, the State of Michigan’s Office of Future Mobility and Electrification and Michigan Central to launch the Michigan (MI) Mobility Fellows Program.
The MI Mobility Fellows Program is a highly selective 15-month fellowship that attracts talent from all over the country to gain real-world experience in transportation planning and mobility innovation. This fellowship will offer participants two unique career tracks that will expose them to the public and private sectors to advance and grow mobility innovation in the State of Michigan.
The MI Mobility Fellows is launching its initial cohort this year. Each track will host five fellows from October 2024 – December 2025.
