About the Peake Fellowship

Peake provides a one-year Fellowship on social media, ecommerce, and technology-enabled best practices. Peake supports Fellows with Networked AI & Big Data-based distributed systems to help local businesses grow, create jobs, and strengthen each community Peake serves. The Peake Fellowship was co-founded by Dean Emeritus John McArthur of the Harvard Business School and other Founding Partners who were chosen for their pioneering contributions across industry, education, and public service. Through a competitive application process, Peake selects outstanding recent college graduates, returning veterans, and military spouses from throughout the United States. Each Fellow trains local business leaders as part of an intensive 12-month Service Learning experience in partnership with local chambers of commerce. Peake's Operations Center is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts and the Fellowship is funded as a for-profit social enterprise.

Venly Institute

Venly Institute comprises methodologies for training, tools, certifications, and governance for Applied Learning & Teaching. Venly Institute's Applied Learning & Teaching programs expand the impact of courses from industry leaders, business schools, vocational schools, community colleges, and universities.

Venly Institute's effectiveness is measured by how much it strengthens the network of local businesses, their chambers of commerce and other industry or professional associations, community institutions, individual contributors, and the overall Venly Support Team. That means the definition of success is not course completion alone or even competence in a particular skill - it is measurable business value created by the actions of Venly Institute Learners.
