Sustainable Career Pathways

The Institute is broadening educators and career counselors’ exposure to the increasing opportunities in the green economy by giving them tools to empower their students to pursue sustainable career pathways and green jobs. “Educators and guidance counselors are the gatekeepers and the folks who have the most power to influence high school students to pursue sustainable career pathways,” said the Institute’s Founding Director, Marianne Larned.
