ClimateCAP MBA Academy: “Using Your MBA To Get The Climate Career You Want”

September 20 | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Join us for our virtual learning series, ClimateCAP MBA Academy: Understanding the Business of Climate. Through this series we will talk with experts on topics across the climate x business continuum to prepare the business leaders of tomorrow—today’s MBA students— to anticipate and manage climate risks and opportunities in their careers.

Our first speaker of the academic year is Trish Kenlon, founder of Sustainable Career Pathways, as Trish presents “Using Your MBA to get the Climate Career You Want.” In this session, Trish will answer climate career questions like:

  • How do I explore different MBA climate career avenues?
    • How does my MBA add value to my recruiting efforts?
    • What skills are climate-employers looking for?
    • What are the different ways to build those skills while in an MBA program?
    • What are some of the best practices around networking?
    • How do MBA students find and assess climate jobs?

You’ll also have the opportunity to network directly with other MBAs and share resources and connections.
