Student and Teacher Feedback

Over 3,000 students have participated in Green Career webinars by tuning in live and accessing the webinar recordings. ​
"Today's webinar was EXTREMELY helpful. Jennifer provided so much insight to the possibility of getting into Renewable Energy as a new career pathway. Also, seeing preschoolers at the headquarters in San Diego viewing the control center was inspirational."
​- Student 
“I wanted to share with you that students have been attending the Green Careers sessions and those are very well received. Some of their reflections are just beautiful. They are learning exactly what we want them to learn.”
​- Teacher, Clairemont High School
"I found the lesson very valuable. I liked that whenever the speaker was knocked down as a kid, she got right back up."
​- Student
"I loved how inspiring the speaker was. She just really seemed to love her life and career path and clarified a few things to me for mine. This webinar helped me become more aware of myself and what I want to do in my life."

Green Careers Conferences

The Energize Schools Green Careers Conference (GCC) is a place for high school students to explore career pathways within the environmental sector. Professionals from the field join students in their community to talk about how they arrived in their current position, what their job entails, and offer real feedback on the environmental issues they're supporting. Students also present their own classroom and community projects that are working to clean and protect our planet. The GCC is an event designed for students and professionals alike! 

​"Science and [sustainability] is a really broad and growing sector of careers. This [conference] has helped me think of possible future careers."
