What is the ELP?
The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is a 9-week structured experience designed for students who are serious about building a career in energy or climate. Each cohort is kept small and intentional — typically 15–25 students — so every participant gets real value.
Throughout the program, you will hear from 10+ guest speakers spanning clean energy finance, climate tech, policy, engineering, and more. You will participate in small group discussions, one-on-one mentorship sessions, and collaborative projects.
Upon completion, you join the ET alumni network — a community of driven students and professionals you can lean on throughout your career.
