Introducing: Degrees: How To Green Any Job
This week, we’re running an episode of Degrees: Real talk about planet-saving careers, from our friends at the Environmental Defense Fund.
This episode is part of a new miniseries called “The Year of the Climate Job,” hosted by EDF Innovation Director Daniel Hill.
Each episode provides the best advice from movers and shakers in the green careers landscape. They share creative, practical ways to land a job and build a career in climate work.
In this episode, Drawdown Labs Director Jamie Beck Alexander is pushing for every company on the planet to fight climate change. How? By harnessing the power of employee voices to change systems for the better from the inside.
A new season of Degrees launches in September. Right now, there are new and emerging green job opportunities in nearly every industry.
Degrees is the podcast for climate career inspiration and job advice.
Make sure you check out other Degrees episodes about how the green jobs transformation is shaping the future.
