🌱 Graduation & Beyond: Paving the Way for Green Careers 🎓 With graduation just around the corner, many young climate activists and changemakers are asking a critical question: How can we turn our passion for climate justice into sustainable careers? 😰 Back in January, what started as a simple email to Regenesis & the Green Career Centre sparked something incredible 🙌 Thanks to a collaboration funded by the UBC Centre for Community Engaged Learning (CCEL)'s Chapman & Innovation Grant, we're excited to launch the Green Careers for Youth Series. 🌟 🎙️ Introducing our new podcast and content series, dedicated to trailblazing the conversation about green jobs in Canada 🇨🇦. Our initiative is set to empower BIPOC youth communities by focusing on climate justice, urban sustainability, circularity, and ecological restoration 💚 In our series, we will: 🌐 Demystify key stakeholders in sustainability. 💼 Highlight tangible steps to secure paid roles with a positive impact. 📣 Share inspiring testimonials from pioneers in green careers. 🤝 Engage directly with youth, helping them align their talents with real-world job opportunities. 👩🎓 Tag someone who needs to be part of this conversation and let us know what you want to hear 💡 Let's walk the talk in those interviews to bring in climate action and labor a greener, more inclusive future together 🌄 Thanks to Lauren Castelino & Jacquie Kwok for making all of this possible 👏 #GreenCareers #Sustainability #Youth #CommunityEngagement #ClimateJustice #EcologicalRestoration #Circularity #UrbanSustainability #ClimateAction #opendoorclimate Youth Climate Corps Youthful Cities Green Jobs Network Green Jobs Board Isaias Hernandez Seth Klein Vancouver Economic Commission Shake Up The Establishment The Climate Emergency Unit WorkBC.ca ECO Canada Kristy Drutman
