Here's what our graduates say

The course was helpful for kick starting our entrepreneurial journey. The highlight being meeting strongly aimed women. Specially being from civil engineering background it was awesome to watch women in this climate field. We started our own little sustainable consultancy firm "CONSTRUCTIVIST" offering solutions in building energy performance. It will be great to get your continuous support for it.
