The Green Career Centre is a non-profit organization partnered with Regenesis with a mission to prepare youth, BIPOC and newcomers for green careers. The Green Career Centre works by and for these communities to bridge the gap between equitable, accessible and transparent social and environmental employment opportunities. Our key areas and initiatives include hosting green career events, conducting innovative participatory and community centred research, and developing useful and impactful resources.

 

Resources

Our Youth Green Jobs Network is a group on LinkedIn where we share entry-level green job opportunities and encourage networking amongst members. Other examples of our resources include the LinkedIn Profile Maximization Guide and the Green Equity Guide for Employers. You can learn more about our resources here.

Events

We love engaging with our community by supporting them with pathways to meet employers and network with industry professionals. Some of our events include the Youth Green Career Workshop, as well as our upcoming Green Career Fair. These are great ways for underserved communities to get their foot in the door with exploring career paths in sustainability.

Research

Our research focuses on employment equity, accessibility, transparency and accountability. To date, we have hosted several focus group sessions with underserved communities to understand their barriers and in turn propose recommendations to government, academic institutions and organizations to advocate for change. We have 2 policy briefs to date focusing on youth perspectives on green job resources and youth perceptions on securing green jobs through an equity perspective. Both briefs are on the GCC website.
