"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."

“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.”

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!
