Voiz Academy’s Post

💻 🌎 CLIMATE SKILLING NEEDS UNLIMITED ACCESS Voiz Academy is excited to make two big announcements, one tech-related, and one an exciting collaboration with Net Impact, the leading business impact organization globally. Both advance our urgent mission of training the workforce in climate skills! 💼 🌱 🤖 Tech first. After months of work by our content, design, and dev teams, we’re excited to announce the launch of a new climate upskilling platform app! 💻 👀 We think of it as an “Alt-Climate MBA”. The app gives users unlimited access to explore and certify in, the most in-demand climate business roles. 🔎 “Explore” because not everyone knows what role they want, and it’s hard to find out one cohort or class at a time. 🏅 “Certify” because in a competitive climate job market, it pays to prove you have real-world “day 1" skills for the job you’re applying to. Central to the app is simulations-based, role-specific career navigation and upskilling. It offers 30 real-world simulations that ask you to adopt the role you're preparing for and complete a project in that role. 💼 🌱 Many of our simulations closely mirror cases that our alumni have been assigned during the interview process — so on top of everything they are interview prep. ✍ The four current roles are: Sustainability Analyst, Decarbonization Analyst, Climate Consultant, and ESG Analyst. Renewables Analyst and others coming soon, as is a full suite of career navigation videos and projects (our Design your Climate Career offering). 🤝 On to the Net Impact collaboration, which we’re thrilled about. We’re collaborating with Net Impact to offer our app to their 100,000-strong student and mid-career alumni community. 👥 Together, we aim to be the go-to combination for business-minded professionals to find community and prepare for careers. It just made so much sense to launch our app with their support! We hope you’ll consider joining one of their chapters, if you haven’t already. 💚 Ready to start upskilling to make business decisions that impact climate and sustainability?

5 steps to develop a Net Zero strategy 🌎 🌱 Businesses face the significant challenge of aligning with global climate goals, necessitating a clear and effective strategy for achieving net zero emissions. The process begins with a thorough assessment of the existing carbon footprint and climate-related risks. Modifications to workplace practices are critical to ensure alignment with net zero objectives. 🔎 Setting precise ambitions and measurable targets is the next step, alongside securing the necessary capital and investments. It is imperative for companies to establish near-term science-based targets that significantly reduce direct and indirect value-chain emissions as a priority. This approach is recognized as the most effective, scientifically-sound method to limit global temperature increases. 🎯 The actual roll-out of key initiatives tailored to meet these targets involves meticulous planning and management. This ensures that each initiative is effectively contributing towards the set goals without causing disruptions. Companies must also set long-term science-based targets to drastically cut emissions, aiming for a reduction of usually more than 90%. 📈 Ongoing monitoring and adjustments are required to maintain the course toward net zero. This involves tracking progress against targets, managing any deviations, and refining strategies to address new challenges as they arise. After achieving these significant emission reductions, companies must neutralize any residual emissions through permanent carbon removal and storage to officially reach net zero status. 🌟 Ultimately, the focus is on creating long-term value through these initiatives. Understanding the return on investment helps solidify the business case for sustainability efforts, portraying them not just as an ethical choice but as a sound economic decision. This structured approach demonstrates a pathway for businesses aiming to achieve sustainability and leadership in the modern corporate world. We’ve created this post in partnership with Antonio Vizcaya Abdo as part of the 'Sustainability Simplified: A Biweekly Educational Series. #NetZero #Sustainability #ProfessionalDevelopment

Currently, Mia is an ESG & Climate Analyst at Nasdaq. ➡ Here's what Mia had to say about her experience with Voiz Academy: 💬 "I completed the sustainability analyst program at Voiz before entering into the corporate sustainability/ESG space full-time. This program exposed me to the variety of sustainability frameworks and metrics that companies are evaluated on on an industry-by-industry basis. These skills translated very well into the ESG consulting space as I was able to speak knowledgeably about this type of analysis in #interviews and #casestudies. Voiz’s support throughout the #JobSearch greatly impacted my confidence and increased my ability to land the job I have today." -Mia Thomas 🙌 Join us in celebrating Mia's journey and stay tuned for more inspiring stories from our incredible alumni! #testimonial #ProfessionalDevelopment #ESG #GreenJobs #SustainabilityAnalyst
