Beyond the Course: How to build a future-ready workforce that delivers on change
23 June 2026, 11:00 – 12:30
Most corporate sustainability programmes skip straight to the course, neglecting to design for what will make the training actually stick. In this session, Kite Insights and Climate KIC will show you what the organisations getting this right are doing differently: a more complete approach to workforce engagement that addresses what happens before and after the training intervention that determines whether learning lands or evaporates.
