As we celebrate Green Careers week here at Hadlow, it’s a great time to reflect on the importance of sustainability in today’s job market and the role of education in fostering a green workforce.
Green Careers week is a national campaign dedicated to highlighting the diverse range of career opportunities that support environmental sustainability and promoting these opportunities to young people. The green job market is rapidly expanding so it is important for aspiring professionals to understand how they can align their career paths with sustainable practices.
Hadlow College is already taking a stand against climate change by signing a landmark pledge to become a carbon net zero organisation. We are committed to equipping our students with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in their given careers whilst also having a constant focus on sustainability. Our students have access to sustainable resources like:
- Our sustainable orchard, which teaches our farmers of the future how to operate and manage sustainable systems.
- Our animal management unit, which teaches the importance of conservation.
As you consider your career options, think about how your interests align with the principles of sustainability! By pursuing education in green fields, you’re enhancing your career prospects whilst contributing to the health of our planet.
