9.2 Careers in Sustainability

 

 

Having looked at choices an individual can make in their lives towards sustainability, we will now examine steps to take for a career in sustainability, specifically in the engineering sector.  Each chapter in this module has suggested engineering solutions to the problems of unsustainability, and looking at the scale of the problems it would be prudent to assume that there should be no shortage of work for engineers!

Firstly suggestions about gaining education both formal and informal are suggested, followed by a list of resources on volunteering and internships.  Then some blogs and websites giving information about getting a job in the area of sustainability are included, before a final  section about "doing it yourself", or setting up a company or organisation from scratch.
