🦄 Have you heard of the elusive Sustainability Unicorn? A mythical individual with decades of green industry experience and unmatched sustainability expertise, capable of turning Net Zero dreams into reality—if you can find (and afford) one. 💡 The truth is, chasing unicorns won't solve your challenges. These individuals are rare and expensive, creating a huge roadblock for companies looking to hire and achieve Net Zero. Worse yet, organizations are prioritizing the wrong skills and miss out on incredible talent already within their teams. 📈 The real opportunity lies in upskilling your existing workforce. By identifying overlapping green skills in talent pools and providing sector-specific training, organizations can embed sustainability into their core business functions, driving meaningful impact. 💼 At OnePointFive, we've developed our Playbook "Forget the Sustainability Unicorn. How to Upskill a Climate Workforce" where you can learn how agile, practical upskilling can help your organization lead the way in climate action. Stop chasing myths. Start building real solutions.

🥳 Join us in celebrating Matthew M.’s incredible journey from OPFA Cohort 4 Graduate to Cost Engineer at Aalo Atomics! ✨ Before joining OPFA, Matthew felt unsure about how to pivot his engineering career toward sustainability. Through OPFA, he gained not only the skills but also the confidence to align his expertise in cost engineering with his passion for decarbonization. Today, he’s helping Aalo Atomics build small, modular nuclear reactors to provide clean and affordable energy—a win for both his career and the planet! 💡 Reflecting on his time at OPFA, he shared: “OPF showed me that a career in sustainability doesn’t need to include the word ‘sustainability’ in its title. For me, expanding my existing skillset in cost engineering and seeking out a company with a sustainable mission were my keys to aligning my career with my passion.” 🌟 And his advice for others considering joining OPFA?: "Just do it! What are you waiting for? OPF is a group of ambitious, intelligent, altruistic people eager to share their knowledge and experience. If you are serious about wanting to drive positive change, surround yourself with people who are doing the same. Come in with an open mind, a curious attitude, and a cultivated determination to grow yourself into someone who is part of the solution." 🙌 At OnePointFive Academy, we’re proud to empower professionals like Matthew to tackle global challenges while growing in their careers. 🏃 Applications for Cohort 7 are now open!

💡 Saif Hameed, Founder & CEO of Altruistiq, shared a crucial insight with our OPF Academy Cohort 6 Members: “Companies should first identify the value from sustainability and then work backwards to the strategy. I am a big believer in the idea that corporations should do stuff that delivers value in some way, shape or form. Otherwise, it's just not going to stick." 🔎 In his latest session, Saif highlighted how sustainability strategies thrive when aligned with business value—whether it’s capturing consumer preference, meeting regulatory demands, or enhancing long-term resilience. 🎓 At OPFA, we equip professionals to connect sustainability goals with tangible business outcomes. Through expert-led sessions and hands-on training, we empower you to develop strategies that create real value—both for your organization and the planet. ⌛ Applications for Cohort 7 are now open!
