Program Structure
Four Components,
Running Concurrently
Every element works together throughout your four months, not in isolation, but as one integrated and immersive experience that shapes confident, capable green leaders.
1
Structured Online Learning
The program offers 30 carefully designed courses across five tracks. Mentees complete only the courses within their selected track or tracks and are not expected to take all 30 courses. Courses are delivered through self-paced online modules featuring interactive content, practical exercises, real-world case studies, and regular assessments.
2
Personalized Mentorship
Each participant is paired with an experienced mentor, receiving personalized guidance, support, and real-world insights throughout the program. Mentors provide weekly one-on-one or group check-ins, career coaching, professional development, and opportunities for network-building within the sustainability space.
3
Capstone Project
Mentees apply their learning through a practical capstone project co-agreed with their mentor: a local campaign, a climate-tech prototype, a research paper, or a policy proposal. The project has clear sustainability objectives and a defined timeline, and culminates in a final presentation at a global end-of-cohort showcase.
4
Peer Learning Circles
Through weekly facilitated peer sessions, participants collaborate, exchange ideas, and deepen their understanding by learning from one another. Sessions involve sharing personal experiences and challenges, joint development of solutions, and exploration of industry best practices from a globally diverse cohort.
