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 any of the following:
- Researching underrepresented women in sustainability in respect to Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy and developing a policy brief
- Organizing and leading a series of participatory, community and arts-based focus groups with underrepresented women in sustainability
- Reaching out to women in sustainability freelancers on LinkedIn to promote their work on International Women’s Day
