Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
The Green Career Centre’s mission is to prepare underrepresented youth for green careers. With a focus on supporting BIPOC, newcomers and women, the Green Career Centre works by and for these communities to bridge the gap between equitable, accessible and transparent social and environmental employment opportunities. With a climate justice lens and through ongoing consultations and focus groups, the Green Career Centre bridges the disconnect between these underserved communities and green careers in sustainability. We offer resources, events, and a strong network of support in order to integrate underserved communities into the green labour market in what is currently Canada.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
Students will have several tasks to complete and can choose to work on any of the following:
- Conducting outreach to key stakeholders involved in our green career fair, career development workshops and other networking events
- Liaising with vendors, caterers, participants and employers at our career fair
- Conducting research on event caterers, employers, sponsors and inputting information into a centralized spreadsheet
- Developing marketing campaigns to increase participation in green events
- Gather, track and report quantitative and qualitative data for career development projects in line with our funders’ expectations (i.e. via event feedback surveys)
