Skills Bootcamps in Sustainability and Carbon Management
Course overview
In a world where sustainability is an ever-growing priority, our Skills Bootcamp in Sustainability equips you with the knowledge you need to take meaningful action and navigate sustainability with confidence.
As the planet breaks global warming records, with increasing catastrophic weather incidents and financial impacts the world over, an increased number of people are demanding that businesses do better for people and the planet.
Doing better for the planet also means doing better for your business.
More customers are demanding higher ethical and environmental standards from the businesses they buy from, and more policies and regulations are coming down the line to support this. Becoming more sustainable could help your business to save energy, cut costs, win new customers, and do your bit for the world and local community.
But we know that as a business owner, you are up against three key problems when it comes to taking climate action
- Lack of time/capacity
- Lack of dispensable finance
- Lack of climate-specific knowledge
We can help with that. Our Skills Bootcamp in Sustainability, developed in partnership with Activate Learning, Oxfordshire Greentech, Blenheim Palace, and Siemens Healthineers, is designed specifically to address these challenges and empower you with practical sustainability skills.
