Project Learning Tree’s Green Jobs: Exploring Forest Careers unit includes four hands-on, NGSS aligned, instructional activities to help youth research forestry jobs, and practice managing and monitoring forest resources.

It is designed for educators, career and guidance counselors, Scouts, 4-H, and FFA leaders, foresters, and job training advisors to use with learners aged 12–25 in settings ranging from community youth programs and school classrooms, to college and career prep.

There is a great job quiz associated with this guide that students can take that will help them explore various career pathways.  Educators can then use the activities in the guide to help students learn more about these different pathways. While this guide emphasizes forestry jobs in particular, it would be a great starting point for educators.

PLT’s Find Your Green Job Quiz is a fun and interactive tool that helps students explore environmental careers that match their skills and interests. By answering a few simple questions, users receive tailored career suggestions in forestry, conservation, and sustainability. Try the quiz for free on PLT's website.

I highly recommend this quiz as an engaging way to introduce students and young people to the many career opportunities in the green sector. It also pairs great with PLT’s Green Jobs: Exploring Forest Careers guide, which provides deeper insights into environmental career pathways.
