The Goods: Power2 you
26 January, 2024
Deciding what career you want, and then knowing how to get it can be a daunting and overwhelming experience. It’s difficult to know what careers exist beyond the ones you always hear about and often the world of sustainability can fall through the cracks. That’s why we’re excited to be moderating an industry showcase panel discussion for current university students, as part of Power2’s Aspire programme, where the insights from three sustainability experts will help debunk what exactly a career in sustainability could look like (and how you might go about getting one).
Power2 is an organisation centred around the value of reengaging children and young people with education, through building their networks, opportunities, life skills and confidence. We’ve partnered with them over the past two years, as part of their Aspire Programme, which works specifically with 18+s who previously received free school meals. The programme offers structured employability and career support to recipients, and as part of this, we’ve hosted a careers day, as well as providing work experience and internship opportunities, making sustainability consultancy more accessible.
The panel, taking place at 5pm on the 6th February, will provide a chance to hear from three experts across the field, including the Head of DE&I at Brentford Football Club, a senior sustainability advisor at WWF, and an ex-Amazon Customer Sustainability Lead. They’ll share the honest truths about what they do, how they got there, and what you can be doing right now to get the ball rolling.
