Breaking the Barriers to Climate. Your Launchpad into Climate Tech.
Penn doesn't have any on-campus recruiting (OCR) for climate innovation, making it difficult to break into climate. We aim to change that. Through our fellowships program, students apply to work with cutting-edge climate startups/companies, gaining exposure, hands-on experience, and connections to the broader climate space while delivering value to companies.
