The graduate certificate program at the JP Morgan Center for Commodities & Energy Management has been instrumental in my career development. Not only have I advanced my knowledge of the energy sector through courses with Center’s expert faculty, but I have also made invaluable industry and personal contacts through the program. In fact, I met my current employer at an Energy Summit and found a position that I absolutely love at Pivot Energy.
