The Impact Academy is a pioneering provider of experiential education for students and graduates looking to build a career in sustainable development.
The programs are a combination of online learning and fieldwork, offered in 7 countries around the world, and are designed to fill the training gap reported by employers in the sustainable development industry: graduates leave university highly academically qualified, but with insufficient understanding of the day-to-day realities of an international development project.
The Impact Academy teaches a profound understanding of local contexts—the unique history, environment, culture, economy, infrastructure, and policies of a particular environment – and how to adapt project work to deliver more successful projects as a result.
Our end goal is clear: to guide and deliver our graduates into their chosen career in sustainable development.
Impact Academy programs are offered through our university partners found across the United States. These include:
UNC Charlotte: impactacademy.uncc.edu
UCR Extension: impactacademy.extension.ucr.edu
University of Richmond: impactacademy.richmond.edu
The Impact Academy is a spin out from GVI, an organisation which has been providing experiential education opportunities around the world for over 20 years.
