Future Profession Climate Protection & Energy Manager
Climate change, increasing scarcity of energy and raw materials and drastic increases in the cost of energy resources - companies need strategies and concepts to improve their environmental balance and ultimately save costs. Clients are also increasingly demanding a sustainability report when awarding contracts. HSWT qualifies experts who can use their acquired know-how to contribute to environmental protection for their company and use scarce, expensive resources efficiently.
The certificate course is a great thing that fits in perfectly with the times. What the world often lacks at the moment is sound knowledge. The course is perfect for building on the basics. It touches on a wide variety of subject areas, presented by good speakers. Exciting excursions and network meetings allow you to make contacts with interesting colleagues from different sectors. I am convinced that every company will need specialists in the future who can bring together climate-related perspectives. The course was definitely a great enrichment for me!
