About the Career Conversion Programme for Sustainability Professionals
With the increasing focus on sustainability globally and with more companies adopting the best sustainability-related practices, existing jobs are gradually redesigned into “green roles”, while new roles in areas such as carbon management are created as part of the transformation.
As such, there is a growing need to support new hires and existing workers to be reskilled to take on new “green roles” and support the company’s sustainability transformation. The Career Conversion Programme for Sustainability Professionals (CCP-S) supports companies embarking on this journey.
