Is your teen green?

Fifty-six per cent of Canadian teens are interested in a career in the environmental sector but don’t know how to develop a career in this area.

New research shows that while 68 per cent of teens surveyed believe jobs in the environmental sector are increasing, they don’t feel they know enough about the types of jobs available.  A significant gap in environmental workers is expected in the next decade as 3 out of 10 environmental workers reach retirement age.

This is why the Green Jobs Forum offers new graduates, students, and the general public an in-depth exploration of careers in the ever-expanding Green Economy.

The Green Jobs Forum is taking place on September 17, 10am to 7pm at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Admission is FREE.
