Orr Fellows work in a variety of job functions, ranging from Marketing to Engineering to Consulting, Sales, and many more. Fellows are matched with industries of all types and partner with companies from small start-ups to enterprise-level global organizations. In addition to full-time employment, Orr Fellows develop new skills and participate in a unique curriculum designed to challenge, develop and propel them toward a career of excellence. Outside of their 9 to 5 job, Orr Fellows participate in different forms of development training, such as personal finance workshops, speaker series, non-profit consulting projects, and pitch competitions. In addition, Fellows benefit from being a part of a community of 150+ peers and have access to a robust network of over 400+ Alumni who have participated in and completed the program.

~Authorization to work in the US, without the need of sponsorship or work visa at any point now or in the future. Unfortunately at this time, Orr Fellowship can not accept students that require sponsorship or visa now or in the future. The way Orr Fellowship’s recruitment and placement process works, there is no guarantee that a student needing sponsorship will be matched with a company that will be able to provide it.

 In order to ensure an equal playing field at time of hire, Orr Fellowship sets the salary guidelines for Fellows.

~Year 1: Each Fellow shall receive an annual starting salary of $51,000
~Year 2: Assuming a positive performance review, a Fellow’s salary should increase to $54,000 for the second year. There may be opportunities for Fellows to receive additional compensation for exceptional performance after completing one-full year, but any and all decisions are at the discretion of the partner company and are not required nor should be expected.
~Commission/Bonuses: Companies may award bonuses, commission, or incentive-based pay at their discretion at any point in the two-year Fellowship.
