Description

The climate crisis is happening right now. We have solutions for this crisis, but there are not enough engaged and trained people to implement these solutions. Strategic Energy Innovations (SEI) is committed to building climate leaders at every stage in life, and with programs like Climate Corps, our vision is a future where a diverse array of emerging professionals are empowered to address the urgent challenges of the climate crisis while meeting the workforce demands of both public and private sectors.
