Welcome to the Green Collar Careers Podcast!
In this 5-minute pilot clip, we preview and highlight what you can expect from each episode of the Green Collar Careers Podcast - candid tips, resources and solicited advice from environmental, sustainability and "green jobs" experts.
About the Green Collar Careers Podcast:
As a 20+ year environmental professional, Iβve learned a lot about environmental careers and have accumulated great relationships with environmental and sustainability-minded professionals. Over the last 10 years, something great has happened: more and more people have become inspired by the "climate movement" and have decided to enter the "green careers" space.
Unfortunately, I've also noticed one overriding theme: most people struggle to find their first βgreenβ job, whether right out of college or even as experienced professionals.
But I also know that it takes just one opportunity - one door to be opened - for those who want to work in helping humanity and the planet.
So itβs my pleasure to announce the ππ§πππ£ πΎπ€π‘π‘ππ§ πΎππ§πππ§π¨ ππ€ππππ¨π©! This platform will allow me to interview "green career" professionals and let them share their career journeys into the environmental and sustainability space.
Each episode will feature a different guest who will share resources and anecdotes on how other people can enter (or pivot) into this line of environmental and sustainability work.
My hope is that this podcast will encourage people to follow their passion, especially if that passion is working on improving and healing our planet.
This is an βall hands on deckβ moment for our species and generation. Thereβs room for all professionals to be a part of it - regardless of levels experience and trades!
