Our Impacts
Testimonials
Mentee (2025 Cohort)
My mentor is very, very inspiring and kind and she also helps set the tone for the meeting (once a month) despite her own busy schedule. I also learned a lot from the workshop established by the Climate Incubator team, in collaboration with other organizations. I would say these are my key learnings:
1. How to upskill myself in the face of current job market (e.g. AI recruitment tools, understanding green trends)
2. How to improve my CV and scholarship admission interview for NUS' MSc in Sustainable and Green Finance program
3. Life lessons in community building, lifelong learning, and staying optimistic in the face of current climate crisis
