Investing in Our Future: 2026 ABG Externship Cohort Selected
Kituwah LLC is proud to announce the selection of our very first cohort for the 2026 Authentic Brands Group (ABG) Externship Program. This marks an exciting milestone in our continued commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for the next generation of leaders within the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
This year’s selected students from Cherokee High School. These students will have the unique opportunity to gain firsthand exposure to a global brand environment, explore professional career pathways, and experience the inner workings of a world-class business operation at Authentic Brands Group.
Kituwah LLC is grateful for the partnership and support of EBCI Higher Education, who will provide two staff chaperones to support the students throughout the experience. We also extend our appreciation to Travel + Leisure Co. for generously accommodating the students and staff at their Margaritaville Resort, located near the ABG offices, helping make this opportunity possible.
This externship represents more than a trip—it is an investment in our youth, our workforce pipeline, and the future of Native economic leadership. We are excited to see these students take this next step and look forward to the knowledge, inspiration, and perspective they will bring back to our community.
