The AGS Early Careers video discusses the many different career paths which are open to graduates entering the geo-industry. If you’re a graduate and have studied geology, geography, environmental science, civil engineering or have a passion for the environment, then a career in the geo-sciences could be for you. There are many different avenues within our sector to explore; from working on small pre-construction building projects, to large earthworks movements, to detailed laboratory analysis. You can be part of a team developing solutions for construction, engineering and renewable energy, or be focused on cleaning up the environment and keeping the public safe from harmful materials in the ground. Whatever pathway you choose, you’ll be helping to shape the industry for future generations. The AGS is proud to be part of the Ground Forum Graduate Mentoring Scheme, which aims to encourage and provide support to those with an interest in pursuing a career within the geotechnical sector. Industry representatives are welcome to use this video when promoting the industry within schools / universities. The video can be viewed here - https://lnkd.in/ePVUJG7F
