GHD professor Migara Jayawardena hosted two career-focused sessions in Fall 2021 for students. The first session, entitled Shaping Your Career Track: Maximizing Impact of the Next Two Years, emphasized the importance of strategic career planning and marketability considerations. You can find the recording of the presentation here.

The second session, entitled Present Yourself: Resumes, Cover Letters, and Interviews focused on the three key elements that can help you land an interview and, later, a job. You can view the recording here. The agenda and overview for both sessions can be found here.

A group of students organized an alumni panel in November 2021 with three GHD alumni:

1. Anne Johnson (GHD'15), Sr. Project Manager at Dalberg, India

2. Ari Gandolfo (GHD'17), Sr. Manager at IDinsight, Zambia

3. Gayle Martin (GHD'18), Consultant at The Bridgespan Group, New York City

You can access the event recording here.
