What attendees of the Climate Bootcamp have to say:
“I’d absolutely recommend the Skills Bootcamp, the content provided has been invaluable. I’ve already spoken to friends and colleagues to tell them how great the course is and not just those who work in the sustainability space. It would be really useful for everyone.” – Fiona Allen, Sustainability Manager
