For many career guidance practitioners the idea that our work plays an important role in addressing injustice and inequality is a key motivator and source of job satisfaction. Green career guidance continues this tradition by suggesting that practitioners align career guidance practices with sustainability initiatives for the betterment of all. This webinar will introduce the concept of green career guidance, exploring key terms such as green jobs and sustainability as well as some of the policy drivers for the green economic transition. The webinar will look at career guidance approaches that align well with sustainability and consider challenges that practitioners may face – and how these may be overcome. The webinar will close with a summary of some of the key projects, resources and areas of research within green career guidance and action planning for career practitioners interested in taking this practice forward.
