At the core of LEAD's international network is its training and capacity-building program.  Known as 'The Fellows Program', applicants who are accepted will attend two one-week sessions in Canada and one one-week session at an international location selected by LEAD International.  Through this program, participants will deepen their understanding of global/local sustainability challenges and develop skills needed to deal with the challenges of global and local sustainability.
