“Talking to real SMEs allowed me to see a picture far beyond economic theories in a classroom… because you understand the problems from the grassroots level, rather than just looking down from an ivory tower.”
“This program is really a great step up for future career and also a place we can get as much as we learn.”

“all of what Kasper said at the end of the meeting is a valuable lesson that will not only work now, but for my professional career ahead.”
