I have completed my advanced course from Iicsr and this is a course which is a must if you are going to pursue a career in ESG and something more on sustainability. It's a course which is filled with a lot of practical examples, and there are experienced faculty, so don't miss to go through this course conducted by Iicsr .
Hi everyone, it's Satya from Mumbai. I've been working in the social development sector for 14 years. I wanted to get into ESG and that's where I was introduced to IICSR by Harsha. I took admission. Initially it was just a 3 month program. It's not sufficient to get into ESG. But then, through my luck and Harsha is so kind to me that I got to work on few assignments. And I finally finished my master's course. The course is not just theoretical knowledge. There are lots of case studies. There are university players. The faculty are very expert having hands on experience of many years. And the people participating in the course, they come from various backgrounds, various expertise. It's been a great learning experience. And I would recommend this course to everyone who wants to get into ESG. I wish you all the best. Thank you.
