Internal climate capability for organisations ready to lead

We offer two different prices depending on where your funding for the course is coming from: Company-funded participant: $599 AUD
‍Self-funded individual: $199 AUD

The value of the Academy course is $2,000 AUD for each participant. We're able to offer reduced prices thanks to the generous support of our philanthropic donors.  If your company is able to pay for your participation in the Academy, please ensure you pay the company-funded price. This enables us to offer the further discounted price to those who are self-funding their learning journey.

Group discounts are available for participants employed by the same company. Please contact us for further information.

If price is a barrier to your participation please contact us for support with obtaining employer funding or to enquire about our limited number of scholarship places.

Each module includes approximately 1.5 hours of video content and reading material, plus application tools which take anywhere from half an hour to a couple of hours to complete. Allowing extra time for reflection and note-taking means you may spend around 4-6 hours over a fortnight engaging with the materials for each module. How deep you go is your choice. Once a fortnight, you are expected to attend a 90min live workshop with the rest of the cohort. And finally, there are guided conversations with two other learning partners, which are designed to be 45 minutes every fortnight.

The Academy and our Learning Community exist to support employees to drive climate action inside for-profit businesses. If that does not fit your situation, we are not able to accept your registration. But don’t worry, there are other ways you can support us and the movement for corporate climate action.

The Academy is a great first step towards making your job your most powerful climate tool. Previous participants have credited the Academy for helping land their dream job in sustainability/climate (see here or here).
‍
While pivoting into a sustainability/climate role is a great career and impact pathway, this isn't your only option. At WorkforClimate, we exist to support the large majority of employees who don't work in dedicated sustainability roles to use their current day jobs for climate action at work.

If your intention is to move out of your current role into a dedicated sustainability/climate role you will likely require additional technical knowledge beyond what we provide in this course. In this case we would recommend complementing the Academy with other learning opportunities.

Academy fees are significantly discounted for all participants thanks to the support of our philanthropic donors. We also offer a lower price for self-funded participants who cannot access funding from their organisation. We are also able to offer need-based discounts and scholarship places. If this is you, please get in touch with us and let’s chat.

Absolutely! We encourage you to apply, even if - especially if - your company is early in its climate journey. If that’s the case, you may not feel comfortable asking your company for funding and we get it. That’s why we created the self-funded price for individuals.

Multiple employees of the same company can take part in the Academy, and form their own sub-group within the cohort. We can provide a discount if 5 or more employees are signing-up for the same cohort, just get in touch with us. If you’d like us to run a dedicated cohort for your organisation, please contact us to discuss.

A cohort-based course (CBC) is an interactive course where a group of leaners advance through the material together — in “cohorts” — with hands-on, peer-based learning at the core. Students participate, learn and collaborate together to achieve a specific outcome - in this case, the outcome would be advancing the climate agenda of their organisation, which can look very different from one learner to another.

There are two elements to this: content and timezones. The majority of the course content is applicable no matter where in the world you work, with the exception of some technical content and examples applied to the Australian context. In these few cases, we encourage you to research what the relevant example would be in your context. The live sessions are currently scheduled to run across timezones ranging from morning in Australia to late afternoon in West Coast USA / Canada. We also have regular European/UK cohorts; see this page for more details.

Yes. We intend to run multiple cohorts each year. If you cannot make the next one, you can register your interest for future cohorts here.

We offer a money-back guarantee with questions asked: If the Academy does not meet your expectations, and you are genuinely unhappy with the value you receive from the course, you may claim 100% money back within 2 weeks of starting the course. For your request for a refund to be granted, you will need to constructively fill out an Academy Feedback Form, explaining why the Academy was not what you expected or provide feedback on how to improve the course.
