Having worked in Engineering/Technology for 9+ years, I'm shifting my career focus to tech-driven policy making. My recent stints in public policy as fellow/intern have spurred an interest, but a comprehensive, long-term fellowship like CPL, with its capstone project, aligns perfectly with my intent for a practical, impactful transition
The CPL Fellowship is something that I did not know it existed and it would an interesting and challenging learning opportunity to me for an opportunity learn and get to be involved in the policy making process.
