I joined KAPSARC’s consulting department as an engineering graduate with limited exposure to energy policy. The program quickly strengthened my capabilities, entrusting me with real responsibilities—from leading client meetings and owning deliverables to presenting our graduate project to KAPSARC’s leadership. Programs offered by KAPSARC’s School of Public Policy helped bridge my knowledge gaps and ease the transition from academia to the workplace. Above all, the approachable and supportive people made KAPSARC a rewarding place to learn and grow professionally.
