COVID and Environmental Career Readiness: Are pandemic graduates ready to make the leap?

COVID and Environmental Career Readiness: Are pandemic graduates ready to make the leap?
March 24th, 2021 at 1:00pm-4:00pm EST

Canada's post-secondary environmental programs want to graduate students that are job ready and employable but what does this mean in a time where hands-on training has been limited or has ceased altogether?  Although universities and colleges have continued to meet the competencies required for a solid environmental education throughout the pandemic, are these competent students workforce ready? 

During this, the second of two symposia in the Resilience in Environmental Education During COVID, we'll explore the preparedness of students as they bridge the gap from studies to the workforce and examine how industry trends and the needs of current employers may have shifted in light of modifications to training and workforce readiness. Join a representative from Eco Canada, as well as other college and university environmental educators for this online presentation and panel discussion where you can learn, share experiences, and ask questions about the future of environmental employability.

This event is free for faculty and staff at CCUEN-member institutions. Please refer to the members link (above) to find out if your university or college is a member. Non-members can register for $25.00 per person.
