Presenters
Description:
In this two-part workshop, you will learn about what jobs are actually out there for folk like you. To start, Kristy Drutman (of EcoTok Collective) and Samantha Silveira (Journalism, class of 2022) will talk about the Green Jobs Board, what jobs are available in ‘green’ industries for people who specialize in communication and the arts, BIPOC students, and other people we don’t normally see in these fields. They will conduct some fun and informative activities to help you focus your job search and identify your own super power.
Then Nicole Loher, climate communicator and NYU professor, will lead a workshop on networking, a crucial skill in the field of sustainability.

Sustainable Development Goal 8: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
The United Nations elaborates that this goal "is about promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all. The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated the worst economic crisis in decades and reversed progress towards decent work for all. Although the global economy began to rebound in 2021, bringing some improvement in unemployment, recovery remains elusive and fragile. By the end of 2021, global economic recovery had been hampered by new waves of COVID-19 infections, rising inflationary pressures, major supply-chain disruptions, policy uncertainties and persistent labour market challenges."
