This webinar will be the second of a series of three which explore careers involving sustainability as part of our our EAUC-S Careers Project.

This webinar will be focusing on the increasing demand for jobs in the sustainability sector as well as for graduates with sustainability skills and knowledge. We will be hearing from NUS whose National Survey backs up the claims, as well as IEMA who have been researching the skills needed for a sustainable economy with their report ‘Preparing for the Perfect Storm’.

Why should I attend?
Find out more about the increasing demand for sustainability skills and knowledge in graduates. This webinar is for you if you would like to hear what employers and companies are looking for in their graduates to cope with the growing demand for ‘sustainability’ in the current working environment. We have the research behind this, hearing from NUS and RGU Course Leader for Corporate and Social Responsibility as well as hearing about companies who place sustainability as a top attribute in potential employees.

Who is this Webinar for?
This webinar is particularly for students, academics and teaching staff, tutors and student and careers advisors, as well as individuals who are interested in a career in sustainability. Basically, anyone would like to find out more about following this career path through learning from the experiences of professionals within the sustainability sector is very welcome.
