Signposting Green Careers to your students: a teacher training session for OTSA

OTSA is the Oxfordshire Schools Teaching Schools Alliance. They host webinars and face to face teacher CPD events and we have been delivering a range of sustainability topics for them.

On December 11th, Kim ran a green careers session. Around 8 teachers and careers advisors attended. Key take home messages were that

  1. In the face of increasing climate anxiety signposting green careers can help students feel that their is a future role for them in protecting a liveable future.

  2. All future careers are likely to include some element of addressing climate impacts and solutions, so students can follow their interests and still get involved.

  3. There are many business and organisations in Oxfordshire working towards solutions who can offer inspiration to students.
