Being the first used to entail graduating from a particular university ahead of time or being the first to earn a PhD in a particular field. The options expanded from Science to Medicine and from Management to Accountability. Nowadays, the trend is still prevalent in some ways, but it has a brighter green hue instead.
Certain words may be heard repeatedly in every interview, bouncing from mouth to mouth like a trite nursery song. "How much do you know about sustainability?" or "In this supply chain activity, are you aware of this or that circularity technique?" and once more “We are seeking a new project manager with a proven track record in sustainability and the circular bio-economy”. It's obvious that sustainability and circularity will emerge as the most desirable qualities in an irreplaceable employee.
Being well-versed in sustainability and circularity benefits society and the environment as well as increasing our chances of being chosen from the many options during a job interview. The demand for green products and services from managers, workers, and customers is predicted to soar to 24 million new employees by 2030. This implies that becoming a part of the green economy entails being prepared—well, more accurately, being the pioneer.
Consider the countless opportunities that come with working in a sector that can change shape, like the green one. However, as there will be a lot of competition, candidates need to be prepared. Chemistry, computer science, geology or geological engineering, biology, environmental science, supply chain management, economics, and business administration are the most necessary academic backgrounds. But the Green economy is going to be so big that there will be space for people who want to pursue another career but don't have a certain degree.
The best ways to get candidates ready include pursuing personal education, emphasising relevant work experience in the green industry, enhancing knowledge and abilities through circularity and sustainability lectures over the most common practices of writing a good cover letter or making a well-structured resume.
An increasing number of Universities will be integrated into green studies by 2024, especially those that focus on agriculture, biology, environmental science, and green engineering. These universities will be responsible for addressing issues like hunger, economic expansion, and sustainable ecosystems. In terms of establishing smarter cities and social spaces, architecture will also be a good field for people who wish to measure themselves in terms of green buildings and natural-based solutions. Environmental attorneys will also be needed by society; it will take them three to five years to become the focal point of an ardent campaign to protect the environment, halt pollution, and reverse hazardous waste.
For those who are ready, opportunities will certainly present themselves in abundance. This includes workers or students who dare to accept an internship at a well-known company like Tesla Motors or a new position at one of the up-and-coming companies like Renewable Northwest. Once again, being the first is essential. A career in the green sector can offer incredible opportunities, and it's also a great way to start caring for the environment.
1. People prepared with a bachelor's degree or a master's in one of the green fields mentioned above or a consolidated personal experience in practical issues, ready to be tested in a new challenging environment rich with opportunities.
2. A person who is always interested in enhancing knowledge about new circular or sustainable trends, remember that this sector is at the beginning of its life and there is some room for both new inventions and new inventors!
3. Professional, trusted people with a true interest in making society and the environment a more resilient place Thus, don't spend any more time and get started on your journey. Keep in mind to be inquisitive about the potential implications of a green turning for all of us!(1)
