At just 24 years old, Khaled Abu Shawish has already charted a purposeful path toward a career in renewable energy. A Palestinian graduate of Al-Israa University in Jordan, Khaled earned his bachelor\u2019s degree in Renewable Energy Engineering with a clear goal in mind: to contribute meaningfully to the growing solar energy sector.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Building on his academic foundation, Khaled enrolled in the PV Design course delivered by the German Energy Academy in Jordan, as part of an initiative developed in partnership with the Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Refugee Education Fund. From his very first interview, Khaled stood out for his professionalism, curiosity, and commitment to learning qualities that consistently defined his journey throughout the program.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A defining moment of the course was a 3 MW solar tender simulation, designed to mirror real industry challenges. Khaled\u2019s submission distinguished itself through technical precision and strong attention to detail, reflecting both his engineering capability and his readiness for the professional field.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The learning experience was further enriched through a two-day, hands-on PVSOL software training delivered by an expert from RES Academy. Recognizing Khaled\u2019s performance and potential, the expert selected him, alongside a small group of high-performing trainees; for a competitive internship opportunity.
\nFollowing the internship, Khaled began his professional career at Electric Vehicle Charger Store, where he gained hands-on experience in EV charging solutions and emerging clean energy technologies. While this role expanded his skill set, his passion for photovoltaics remained central to his aspirations.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Through continued collaboration between the German Energy Academy and industry partners, Khaled\u2019s profile was shared with leading solar companies as opportunities arose. This led him to Gazania Solar, one of Jordan\u2019s leading photovoltaic companies, where he now serves as a Business Development Officer, returning to his core passion within the solar sector.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Khaled\u2019s journey reflects the power of strategic partnerships, practical training, and mentorship under the Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair Refugee Education Fund. His story stands as a testament to how focused education pathways can help young engineers transform ambition into lasting professional impact in the renewable energy field.
