The WBCSD Young Professionals Program equips early-career professionals with both the technical and adaptive skills needed to lead sustainability transformations within their organizations.

In its second year (2026), the program will run cohorts in February, May, and September, building on a global alumni network from 53 organizations across four continents.

The first 2026 cohort runs from 25 February to 1 April and includes six weekly 120-minute virtual masterclasses on core sustainability topics, plus 1–2 hours per week of preparatory work and reflection.

Participants complete the program with a personalized action plan addressing a real challenge in their organization and can continue learning and networking through virtual alumni gatherings.

Registration for the May and September 2026 cohorts opens in early 2026.
