RMI Global Women in Clean Energy Fellowship
Catalyzing a more inclusive and equitable clean energy workforce
Program Overview
RMI is excited to announce the launch of its Global Women in Clean Energy Fellowship — a new initiative designed to catalyze a more inclusive and equitable clean energy workforce.
Leveraging the Energy Transition Academy (ETA)’s expertise, strategic partnerships, and a tailored leadership curriculum, the Fellowship will empower women leaders, strengthen their networks, and support them in more rapidly advancing clean energy projects and more inclusive organizational practices—contributing to the broader impact of an equitable, gender-inclusive and fast-tracked energy transition.
The Global Women in Clean Energy Fellowship’s inaugural cohort of fifty fellows will start in June 2025 in Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Zambia, all Africa Minigrids Program participating countries. The second cohort of the Global Women in Clean Energy Fellowship, starting later in 2025, will take place in Indonesia.
What the Fellowship Offers:
- Technical training in distributed energy resources (DER)
- Applied leadership and project management skills
- Mentorship from global energy experts
- A capstone project to drive real world impact
- A chance to be selected for an in-person Leadership Accelerator
