Alumni Careers

"I have sharpened my skills in so many dimensions – analytic, decision-making, leadership and team-building. Having worked for over a decade in government, I especially appreciated the opportunities to interact with local government practitioners and urban development organizations. The skills I have gained empower me to more effectively contribute to Kazakhstani society."

"Attending this program has been an eye-opening journey that exceeded my expectations with its diverse group of professionals and comprehensive coverage of public policy disciplines. I enjoyed studying with fellows from government officials, nonprofit leaders, urban planners, and social entrepreneurs. The blend of backgrounds and perspectives created an exhilarating learning space that continuously pushed me to explore complex issues from myriad angles."

"The biggest strength of IPPAM is that it brings together a diverse and global cohort of people from different professions, so that you broaden your outlook while learning first-hand from the practices of other countries. The perspectives gained through interactive discussions cannot be replicated by reading books or viewing social media. As a civil servant who develops and implements policy, this was an invaluable experience."
