We often hear about the millions of new green jobs that will be created as a result of the transition to renewable energy and a greener economy. But what does this mean for students seeking ways to engage in meaningful climate action, and how does this affect the way teachers should be teaching foundational knowledge and skills? During this workshop, you'll hear about some of the latest research on green jobs and green skills, how to center youth in green career discussions, and learn about tools to help introduce your students to their future in green careers. 

We understand that some of these workshops do not work for educator's schedules, so all registrants will receive a recording and additional resources to their e-mail within 1 week of the event. We are striving to make our events more welcoming to all, with specific goals about racial equity and inclusivity. Your answers during registration will help us to know how we are doing. The workshop will be from 12:00 PM–1:00 PM CT.
