The API are proud to offer access to the API’s Executive Insights program through our new Early Career Stream as a development opportunity for early career professionals in technically oriented roles in the power sector (graduates, PhD candidates, new hires, early career academics etc).

The Executive Insights series features 10x CEOs and senior executives from the API’s member organizations sharing high level insights on the challenges and opportunities facing the sector and the methods and mindset to use when developing solutions (and lessons from their own experiences).

These insights are coupled with detailed analysis of the issues by mid-career leaders attending the API’s annual residential Summer School, who will also make recommendations on the actions graduates can take so they too can make meaningful contributions to the sector moving forward.

Participants in the online-only EI-ECS program will have access to all the sessions with the Executives (online, live and on-demand) and the reports and presentations from the mid-career leaders, and the opportunity to join online Q&A sessions with the mid-career leaders to better understand the recommendations for professional development.

Graduates will also be guided through a self-assessment of their capabilities and crafting of a personal skills development plan linked to the Executive Insights topics.

Executive Insights Early Career Stream participants are welcome to join all of the Executive Insights online sessions (5 sessions, with 10 speakers) or only select one or two to focus on, and similarly for the Syndicate Project presentations at the Summer School (accessed via webinar).

We’ve also configured the program so that Early Career stream participants can have a ‘soft start’ with the first sessions specifically needing their live participation on 28 March 2023; participants can join earlier in the Exec Insights sessions or access the recordings of these sessions after the Launch session.
