What do YOU want to BE when you finish school?

The “green economy” is changing the face of the workplace in BC and around the world. The green elements of BC’s economy are growing faster than the province’s economy as a whole. The number of green jobs in BC are expected to double in the next 10 years. What an exciting time for our youth who many have NO idea what they want to “be”.  This is much more than a career fair as it allows youth to interact with career mentors from various sustainability related careers who have excelled in their green careers.

This interactive career conference will be offered free of charge to 125 young people and will allow participants the opportunity to:

• Meet and interact with successful people who will share their sustainability career paths in 5 breakout sessions
• Learn about emerging sustainability career opportunities in BC and Internationally
• Listen to an inspirational keynote address from Dr. Nicholas Coops, UBC Professor and Canada Research Chair in Remote Sensing for forest productivity and conservation
• Meet the engaging creator of Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story documentary film
