NHEF × Moka Essay Series 2026 | Writing About Relevant Coursework & Experience by Ademola Phocus

Описание: Thank you for being part of today’s conversation.

In this session, a past scholar shared practical guidance on answering the prompt: What coursework or professional experience best connects with your intended internship path? The discussion focused on choosing strong examples, presenting them clearly, and aligning them with what the host organization is likely to expect.

Today’s insights were delivered by Ademola Phocus, a 2025 NHEF scholar.

Key ideas covered:

• Selecting experiences that directly match the responsibilities of the role
• Understanding the internship tasks before deciding what to showcase
• Drawing from academics, projects, service, leadership, and research
• Explaining contributions, abilities applied, outcomes achieved, and the connection to the opportunity
• Structuring responses in clear paragraphs
• Staying within an effective word range close to the limit without being too brief or overcrowded

This program is part of the NHEF × Moka essay series.
