Scholarships
The CCEC Forum Scholarship Program has closed for 2025.
Mentorship Program
The Mentorship Program is intended to provide an environment that fosters learning and promotes personal and professional growth for professionals in the climate and energy sector.
As a Mentee, you will build lasting connections with energy and climate leaders from across the state and to receive one-on-one guidance and support from a seasoned professional in your field of interest during the CCEC Forum.
As a Mentor, you would act as a valuable resource to facilitate learning and growth for early professionals by sharing your experiences, knowledge, and wisdom, and help your mentee navigate the CCEC Forum in a way that supports and aligns with their professional goals and aspirations.
If you’re interested in becoming a mentor or mentee at the CCEC Forum, please complete this application. We will do our best to match mentees to mentors, one-on-one, according to areas of interest and areas of expertise indicated in your application. Because we are still learning about the level of interest in this opportunity, we are going to be adaptable and flexible, and hope you will be, too.
