Part I: Groundwork (11/30/11)
Created to provide insights into the sustainability sector and strategies for obtaining a related position, Part I introduces a wealth of information regarding where and how to begin one’s career development process. Topics include types of sustainability careers and educational opportunities, and strategies for gaining experience and identifying opportunities, among others. Time is also allotted to answer participants' specific questions during and at the end of the workshop. Participants receive an extensive annotated resource guide to help inform and propel their journeys.

Part II: Refining Your Strategy and Overcoming Barriers  (12/12/11)
A more interactive session, this seminar builds on and develops the information from Part I. Through in-depth discussion and interactive exercises, attendees focus on identifying and overcoming barriers, developing and adjusting career development strategies, and exploring specific opportunities and resources. Participants are encouraged to bring their individual questions, as well as insights, to this small group, participatory session. Please bring a copy of your current resume!
