Job Resources For Climate Tech
A compilation of resources to begin navigating a career in climate!
As I am coming to the end of my bachelor’s in mathematics and computer science, I have begun looking for opportunities where I can best apply the skills I have learnt to address today’s pressing environmental and social challenges. Whilst a lot of awe-inspiring, cutting-edge, all-around-cool work is being done in this space, it can sometimes be hard to navigate. I’ve been fortunate enough to speak to lots of lovely, kind, generous people in the climate tech community who have shared resources and tips. They are compiled here for anyone else who might be looking to begin a career in climate work and find climate related tech roles.
