This 100-day program, managed by 1M1B (One Million for One Billion), aims to foster green skills among young people by offering 5,000 internship opportunities across colleges in India.
Empowering Future Leaders in Sustainability
This initiative aligns with LinkedIn’s 2023 Global Green Skills Report, which highlights that job seekers with green skills are 29% more likely to be hired. The program will equip students with climate-conscious skills to prepare them for future career opportunities in sustainability.
