Course objectives
The course consists of two parts. The content of the first part is to share information and experience of MVEB graduates in finding a job in consulting companies and to introduce topics and specific projects in the field of energy. The presentation also includes outlining the format of the selection process and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of MVEB graduates when working in the consulting sector. The second part of the course focuses on solving a specific case study. The topic of the case study is disruption of gas supply to the country. The case study focuses on an introduction to the project approach to the problem and an explanation of the steps involved. The solution includes an evaluation of possible scenarios of gas consumption and supply based on a data model. The main objective of the case study is to formulate the main conclusions and recommendations based on the discussion. The course does not require any specific knowledge, but it will be necessary to study in advance some materials in advance so that the simulation itself runs smoothly and as efficiently as possible.
