Set against the backdrop of Climate Weeks in Houston and NYC, this session will explore current readiness gaps and opportunities for advancing green careers for climate action. We'll highlight the latest research on green jobs growth projections across sectors, current skills gaps, and initiatives working to close those workforce skills and readiness gaps. We'll also share how CELF is cultivating green workforce pathways starting with our youngest learners. The session will culminate with an introduction to CELF's new Green Career Guest Speaker Portal, and an opportunity for participants to create their own speaker profiles. This event is designed primarily for green career professionals across all sectors, as well as educators interested in supporting their students' green career readiness.
