We've had graduates go on to work for NGOs, government agencies, and private companies, applying their conflict resolution skills to drive positive change. EMILY: That's incredible. I know our listeners are curious about the practical applications of the course. Can you give us an example of how the skills and knowledge gained in this program can be applied in real-world situations?
