Event description

Spotlight on Careers in Sustainability
***This event will take place on MSTeams***

Young people are passionate about sustainability but may not know that they can harness this passion into a future career.

With the COP26 summit taking place in the UK recently, sustainability has been a talking point for many schools.

We are looking for volunteers to talk about their job and how it connects with these themes and inspire young people in contributing to their own sustainable future and understand that they can combine their passion with a career and do a job they love.

In this session, speakers will share insights, lessons, and tips to motivate and inspire pupils to make informed decisions about their future.

Speakers will ˜tell a story “about their career journey:

Subjects they studied and how these are relevant now

What inspired them to choose their career path

Their failures, as well as successes

What their company does and why this is important

What they enjoy most about their career

Skills currently relevant in the jobs they are doing now.
