Core Content

The curriculum follows a structured journey modeled after entrepreneurial accelerators and tailored specifically for climate careers. Each week, participants tackle a new facet of their career transition, starting by reframing themselves as climate “startups,” identifying hiring manager pain points, prototyping their personal value proposition, perfecting their pitch, and bridging skills gaps through targeted upskilling. The course provides practical exposure to daily work in climate roles through live job simulations and collaborative problem-solving. Dedicated modules focus on storytelling, market research, interview readiness, and go-to-market strategies for job seekers. You will benefit from personal mentorship, expert feedback, and access to real alumni success stories, making theoretical insights immediately actionable as you apply them directly to your own job search.

Key Skills

Participants develop a comprehensive suite of career skills essential for the climate sector. The program builds confidence in personal branding, effective communication of complex impact narratives, and adaptive job search strategies. You will gain market-aligned skills in resume and portfolio development, interviewing, and climate job pitching. Real-world simulations and peer review sharpen your ability to solve climate challenges, navigate hiring trends, and network with authenticity. The course also provides foundational literacy in the most in-demand climate skills, supplemented by one year of self-paced modules to ensure you close any “0 to 1” skills gaps identified during coaching.

Target Learners

This program is designed for career pivoters, new graduates, early-career professionals, and anyone determined to enter or advance within the climate workforce.
