In partnership with Education and Employers, we will be hosting a series of virtual careers sessions – in celebration of Green Careers Week (6 – 11 November), where students will embark on a journey to explore diverse careers related to green and sustainability with EDF Energy, Institute of Motor Industry (IMI) and Air Products.
Students will gain insight into the variety of green jobs that exist (Gatsby Benchmarks 2 and 5), learn about technical and apprenticeship pathways into them (Gatsby Benchmark 7) and get a better sense of the importance of these jobs. The session will also include Q&A opportunities and interactive quizzes for students to collect interesting facts along the way.
