IN JUST 6 WEEKS, DEVELOP YOUR RESUME, LEADERSHIP VOICE, AND PROFESSIONAL NETWORK TO STEP CONFIDENTLY INTO GREEN AND NONPROFIT ROLES.

What Is the Green Career Readiness Training?

The Green Career Readiness Training is a four-week, interactive online program designed for motivated students and recent graduates who want to explore careers in the environmental, sustainability, or nonprofit sectors. Whether you’re pursuing a degree in environmental science, taking climate-focused courses, or just passionate about making a difference, this training gives you the tools to turn interest into action—and action into a career path.

Why Join the Green Career Readiness Training?

The 2025 job market is turbulent: slower growth, tighter budgets, cautious hiring. But green careers are one of the few sectors still expanding — and expanding fast. According to LinkedIn (2024) over 50% of all new jobs will require green skills by 2030. Even when hiring slows, green skills keep students employable.

Participants will leave the program with:

  • A clear understanding of career paths in climate, sustainability, and social impact work

  • A polished green resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, and personal elevator pitch

  • A Capstone Project to showcase in their portfolio and share with potential employers

  • Practical leadership and workplace strategies to stand out in internships and early-career roles

  • Confidence to network with peers, mentors, and professionals in the environmental field

  • A Leadership and Career Essentials for the Green Economy badge to highlight their readiness

  • A supportive, like-minded community committed to creating environmental change

Take your first step toward a mission-driven career that matters.

 
“This program helped me build something meaningful... stronger skills, more confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.”
