National Careers Week: Climate and Nature
Webinar is free and open to all.
This webinar series for National Careers Week brings environmental careers to life through real stories and honest insights from professionals working across a wide range of roles and sectors. Across themed days, you’ll discover just how varied the environmental field is and the many different routes you can take to get there. Within the "Climate and Nature" theme, we're exploring careers linked to climate change, biodiversity, nature recovery, and sustainability-led decision making.
You’ll also have the opportunity to ask the professionals questions about their role, career journey and day-to-day experience. If you’re unable to attend live, you can submit a question in advance. All webinars will be recorded so you can watch them back at a time that suits you.
In this webinar, our speakers will share insights into the following areas:
- What it’s like to work in the sector and where your degree could take you after graduation
- A realistic picture of the daily tasks, responsibilities, and skills required
- The transition from university to career, including the steps, decisions, and experiences that helped them succeed.
