The Green Careers Festival
Live events for the festival have concluded for this term, but you'll find useful resources below.
Being interested in a career in the green sector opens many possibilities. It is an incredibly diverse, fast-moving sector which makes it exciting but also a little daunting if you do not know quite what you would like to do. However, do not despair, in addition to our Green Festival there is a huge amount of information out there to help you find out about different roles within the sector. Also, check out our Environment pages for more information.
