WOULD YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR A STUDENT WHO WANTS TO MOVE INTO THE SECTOR IN WHICH YOU WORK TODAY?
It is essential to understand that the career path is a dynamic process, influenced by changing contexts and opportunities. Although academic training is a fundamental basis, it is not the determining factor. In other words, the mere fact that you have taken a particular Masters at Sciences Po does not directly determine your career path. What really counts is making the most of the resources offered by the institution and adopting a proactive approach. For those who want to go into the humanitarian sector, I strongly recommend exploring opportunities for academic or professional exchanges abroad, making the most of field experience in fragile areas, and developing a solid network that can be an asset throughout your career.
