Workshop: Climate Job Networking Basics
Feeling stuck in your climate job search? Chances are it's not because you're lacking knowledge on climate issues or solutions. It's because of barriers like not having the right connections or enough direct experience for desired roles. You’re not alone.
Join OpenDoorClimate's upcoming Climate Job Networking Basics workshop designed to help you overcome the obstacles standing in your way of actually getting a climate job. We’ll focus on basic, practical strategies, from smart networking to gaining direct experience wherever you are now. This is all about fresh perspectives and actionable steps for people that might be earlier in their careers.
What will we cover?
Part 1: 2-Hour Learning Session (May 16)
We’ll focus on practical actions for networking and relationship building for a climate job:
Getting your virtual self ready
Determining your personal networking strategy
Finding the right people to connect
Sending that first message
Making the most of conversations
As well as discuss ways to overcome other climate job barriers around skills and experience:
Map your skills and understand where to upskill
Find ways to gain experience before having a full-time climate job
Part 2: 1-Hour Peer Exchange (4 weeks later)
After applying these strategies, we’ll meet again to share what’s working, troubleshoot where you're still stuck, and learn from each other.
This is not a webinar about the climate crisis—it’s a space to gain real, actionable steps to advance your job search. You’ll walk away with fresh ideas to help you move forward.
Is this workshop right for you? This workshop is best for those early in their climate career journey or looking for a refresher of basic networking and job search tactics. It may not be as relevant for those further in their job search or networking experts. The workshop will also not provide one-on-one personalized advice.
