Sustainability Future Leaders Programme

What is the Sustainability Leadership Access Scheme?

The Sustainability Leadership Skills Programme is our signature course. Supporting and developing early careerists and students by providing vital skills for the workplace. The session course features modules in communication and presenting, project management and systems thinking. 

​

Our mission is to support and empower the next generation to have the skills and knowledge needed for the future. This new scheme aims to fulfil part of this mission by heavily discounting (up to 95% discount) the cost of our Sustainability Leadership Skills Programme for young people, and providing a range of tiered prices on a 'Pay What You Can' basis. 

​

The twelve sessions will run on consecutive weeks at a regular time via Zoom. The dates for the sessions are as follows:

How does 'Pay What You Can' Work? 

We believe that opportunities should be available for everyone, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances, so are offering a range of prices to try to suit all budgets. This model removes financial barriers, and gives those who can afford it the opportunity to support others who can’t.

 

Our price for this scheme ranges from £30 - £250, and represents up to 95% discount off our standard pricing. As a charity, we rely on donations and funding to offer these schemes. This offer is trust-based and aims to foster a community that supports each other: if you can afford a higher price, please do choose that option to help continue this scheme and welcome other young people who would otherwise not have the opportunity to access this training.

 

If all tiers represent a significant barrier to you, please do contact us directly with some detail as to your circumstances and we can confidentially discuss further options on a case-by-case basis.
