Pathways to the Cleantech Sector

Taking action on Climate Change is projected to generate as much as 26 trillion dollars of economic gains and 24 million new jobs globally by 2030. Governments across Canada see the cleantech sector as an excellent source for high-paying jobs. Many questions surround what career pathways look like for someone entering this sector. The cleantech sector may have great potential, but there are still many unknowns.

Here at ECO Canada, we are excited to share with you the results of some of our most recent research into the challenges and opportunities for job seekers, innovators and problems solvers interested in cleantech. In this webinar, we will be presenting our most recent findings on this emerging sector, including in-demand skillsets, and looking to create dialogue about pathways into the sector.

Many young people are looking for careers actively involved in the fight against climate change. We warmly welcome your input on the materials presented and look forward to hearing your perspectives on the cleantech sector as a career destination.

• What types of challenges does the industry face?
