Sustainability Capstone Project and Career Advisory (Classroom and Synchronous)
About This Course
The Sustainability Project is a Capstone Project for the entire programme. These projects may be real business cases provided by sponsoring corporations, stakeholders and SMU Academy. Implementing sustainability commitments requires competent technical experts who can undertake or monitor activities. Through the capstone project, participants will gain the skills and experience to undertake and deliver specific sustainability-focused action plans. SMU Academy’s slate of sustainability courses are very important, but alone they are not sufficient. Even more crucial to building competence is practical experience overseen and guided by a project mentor who already has the skills and experience and is willing to pass them on.
To help distil the learning, a project mentor is assigned to encourage the personal and professional development of the project mentees through the sharing of knowledge, expertise and experience.
Under the Career Advisory segment, there will be career workshops as well as the option of 1:1 coaching with a Career Coach to assist participants with ready skills to transit to a new career.
