Verified Expert

We deliver training in climate science, policy and the human skills needed to address climate change. Both public and private sector organisations have set ambitious net zero targets.

Our role is to help drive the culture change needed to deliver tough climate goals by educating, informing and empowering people. By doing this we not only help organisations reach their climate objectives, we also help wider society to tackle climate change.

Alumno Consulting

(55 reviews)
Verified Expert

Welcome to Alumno Consulting. We provide training and education consulting to the financial services industry worldwide.

Our sessions are fun, engaging and memorable, whether we are running graduate programs or advising at board level. We care deeply about whether learning actually sticks. Energy and laughter are at the heart of what we do because they have been proven to increase attention and retention.

Too much corporate training focuses on transmitting information. We focus on making sure it is received, understood and remembered.

Research shows that fewer than 1 in 3 employees apply what they learn in corporate training, and some studies put the number as low as 12%. Do not become part of that majority. Look at our reviews or use the link to schedule a 30-minute Zoom call and see the difference for yourself.
