Professional development is a life-long enterprise. School learnings must be continuously augmented with new skills, tools and current industry knowledge. Technologies, consumer preferences, and markets change rapidly and significantly in the energy space. Energy and environmental policies interact. These dynamic forces are driven by and, often, induce policy and regulatory actions that trigger further changes, sometimes in unintended ways.

Training content built on in-depth research of these developments and on-the-ground experience is more pertinent to trainees' day-to-day performance at work. In a classroom of industry professionals, the instructor can learn from them as well. With this philosophy, Dr. Gülen has developed and delivered content on oil, natural gas, and electric power value chains since the late 1990s, including energy economics courses for Economics, MBA and LLM students, and custom courses for energy professionals.
