Introducing: The Climate Drift Career Accelerator
An 8-week program for mid-career and exec level climate job seekers to break into climate
Hey everyone!
We have been working hard behind the scenes.
Next to working together with top climate funds and research institutions (more on that soon), we also spent 80+ hours giving free 1on1 climate career mentor sessions to some 300+ people on our waiting list while having 100+ people sign up for our first climate career transition workshop.
We realized two things: calls are hard to scale and a 1-day workshop is not nearly enough to create the tsunami-type talent wave we need to break into the climate economy.
While many people are already self-educating, taking courses, and earning advanced degrees, they still find it incredibly challenging to transition in climate.
It is time for something new:
Introducing: The Climate Drift Career Accelerator
🚀 What to expect
The purpose of our Climate Drift Career Accelerator is straightforward:
👉 to help you land a job fighting climate change.
We will cover:
- Finding and diving deep into your climate niche
- Targeting the right companies
- Perfecting your pitch
- Building a peer network
- Hearing from Successful Career Switchers
- Having hiring companies pitch you
- Hands-on team projects
- Demonstrating your skills + experience to climate companies

🌊 Why we do it
The motivation behind this is clear:
Talented professionals often struggle to enter the climate industry, while climate companies find it challenging to recruit top talent.
Our accelerator is designed to bridge this gap, creating a pathway for exceptional candidates to launch and accelerate their climate careers.
🤝 Building with you
This is our first cohort. We believe we've pinpointed the challenges in bringing people into the climate sector and are currently introducing the first 100 individuals.
This builds on Marco's previous success in guiding thousands into the tech industry.
But the climate challenge is new, and we will need to find more and better ways to help people shift into climate.

would this program benefit those not within the US as from experience there's very little movement and activities in the climate/sustainability space outside US.
