One of the best aspects of the Skills Bootcamp experience was undoubtedly the opportunity to keep a logbook and being able to listen to the podcasts and the hybrid approach enabling us to be able to collaborate within the cohort . It provided a structured way to document learnings, reflections, progress and learn through osmosis throughout the program. One significant achievement was obtaining a deeper understanding of the ripple effect climate change has on various aspects, including social justice, sustainable practices, and incentives.

Through interactive discussions and the practical exercises, I managed to gain insights into how climate change exacerbates existing social inequalities and the importance of incorporating sustainable practices into policies and incentives. This newfound understanding empowered me to advocate for more equitable and sustainable solutions in my professional and personal endeavours.

I enrolled for the Net Zero Together skills bootcamp driven by my passion for solar energy and sustainability. I saw the opportunity to deepen my knowledge in areas like climate literace sustainable change, and circular economy principles, crucial to hone my understanding of the sector and helping other businesses to decrease their net zero emissions.

This bootcamp equipped me with the skills to drive sustainable development and work towards achieving net zero targets in solar projects.

I chose to study a Skills Bootcamp at the University of Birmingham because of its stellar reputation as a leading institution. With its association with the Birmingham Energy Institute, renowned for its expertise in energy and sustainability research, the University offered a compelling environment to delve into the intricacies of sustainability and carbon literacy and the steps that can be taken to improve business practices and make the relevant changes . The opportunity to learn from experts in the field and gain practical skills aligned perfectly with my current role, helping towards my personal development and obtaining a wider understanding the sustainability sector.
