Launch Your Career with Houston's Virtual Green Job Program

Calling all high school and college students!

At this unique program, you have a chance to meet in small groups with professionals who make saving the planet their life work. Ask questions, learn how to pursue a green career, and inquire about internships/job shadowing opportunities.

This is a come-and-go format, with tables open from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. on October 6.

You will receive an event link through to the Remo platform. Simply join the event, and self-select which professionals to engage in conversation.

A list of attendees and sample questions will be provided, so that you know who to look for and what to ask.

 

Do you currently have a green career, and want to mentor area students?

Take a few hours to meet with small groups of students. Share your career experience with them, help them chart an academic pathway, and offer information on local internships and/or job shadowing opportunities with your employer (if applicable).

You will receive an event link through the Remo platform. Simply join the event and sit at your designated table. Engage with students in a come-and-go format (they can self-select where to go).
