Green STEM Careers
Online Green Careers Workshops
We work with industry professionals and can bring them live into your classroom. This is a chance to break down student’s misconceptions about STEM careers and the people who do them. We will explore what they do in their job, the skills they need to do their unique journeys from school to the industry.
Volunteer
Help Inspire the Next Generation of STEM Thinkers
Many students have never met anyone working in a STEM career and often have no idea how to pursue one themselves. You can help change that.
By spending just 30 minutes preparing and 30 minutes chatting live with students via a webinar, you could become a volunteer STEM ambassador.
You’ll share what your job involves, the everyday skills you use and what you enjoy about your work.
Your story could open student eyes to possibilities they didn’t know existed.
If you're interested in helping students see themselves in a STEM future, we’d love to hear from you.
