Yesterday, I had the privilege of participating as a panelist at the South Midlands Careers Hub business event for their sustainability workshop. We delved into the significance of sustainability as a viable career path for young professionals and explored ways in which educators, careers leaders, and businesses can foster and advocate for sustainability career opportunities. One of the key takeaways emphasized the importance of empowering individuals to become leaders in sustainability, regardless of their age or career stage. Education, continuous learning, and professional development play a pivotal role in nurturing sustainability careers. There are challenges with teaching sustainability when it is not on the curriculum, however this vast 'topic' is embedded in just about every discipline that is taught! Tackling this disconnect with what 'sustainability' is and looks like can open doors for countless individuals to realise their potential in sustainability roles. It was inspiring to see how careers leaders, educational institutions, and businesses can play a crucial role in influencing and the trajectory of sustainability careers, paving the way for businesses to prosper by embracing and achieving sustainability objectives. The event sparked stimulating conversations among panel members and attendees, offering valuable insights and perspectives. I hope that those came along to the session left with a sense of inspiration, optimism, and motivation to be catalysts for the change needed in our pursuit of a sustainable future.
