This workshop introduces climate career launchers to a new way of navigating their career search. Voiz Academy use a hands-on, “design thinking” approach to help businesses solve key climate problems. It’s an antidote to “spray and pray”, and positions students to win the attention of climate hiring managers.

The workshop involves going through the stages of the design thinking process to develop a pitch for an actual ESG consulting role. By attending, students will learn how they can shape their skills and experiences into a “solution” to the hiring manager’s problem.
