“When it came to helping our students to understand how to prepare themselves for a career in sustainability, Change Agents’ presentation was awe-inspiring. Not only did they provide a lot of factual information, they delivered it in an interactive and engaging way, which made it easy to absorb. The structure was clear, motivational and effective. They had obviously put a lot of thought and expertise into the content of the presentation, and because of this our students have taken away a very key message - ‘sustainability starts where you are'.”

This is a highly interactive training with plenty of guided discussion and activities to apply the material to your context and students. We can host it in-person or online with two options:

Our Sustainable Futures Programme is the student equivalent of our Green Careers & Future of Work training. We provide an overview of climate change and sustainability. Students engage in interactive activities to develop sustainability skills and help them find their perfect purpose-driven role.

Our flagship Sustainability Leadership Skills Programme (SLSP) is a 10-part training covering core sustainability & employability skills including systems thinking; communicating sustainability; sustainability leadership; and resilience. Over our three key impact areas (Growth & Development; Mindset for Change; Engagement & Impact), we help participants to develop these skills and recognise how they, in whatever career they enter, can become sustainability leaders.
