It has never been more crucial to attract, support, and retain the next generation of leaders in parks and protected areas. This webinar is an opportunity to learn from those who are already role models in the field! Join us in a conversation with a young leader from Ocean Bridge to hear about their experience with an innovative program that empowers nearly 200 youth across Canada each year to learn about and co-create marine conservation and outreach projects.
Also hear from Project Learning Tree Canada (PLT Canada)—a bilingual charitable organization—about how it has succeeded in placing young adults (aged 15-30) in over 5,000 Green Jobs since 2018, and how it continues to support thousands of young Canadians along their green career pathways every year. PLT Canada has also supported over 900 Indigenous youth from over 100 Indigenous communities since 2018, and continues to achieve gender diversity in all its job placements. Learn more about PLT Canada’s mentorship program, online courses, and other professional development resources at its upcoming #MyGreenJob career fair on February 10, 2022.
