Careers for a Sustainable Future (2024 Dates TBC) Please Note The below information relates to our 2023 offering. We are aiming to provide a similar opportunity for you to connect with students and graduates in the academic year 2024/25 and are currently reviewing what this offering will look like. If you are interested in being added to our mailing list to be kept up to date on booking any of our events or services, please email the team to discuss. Contact employers@ed.ac.uk What is the Careers for a Sustainable Future campaign? Many of our students and graduates are interested in a career that has a positive environmental impact and/or fights climate change. We want to shine a light on some of the options students who want their career to contribute to a sustainable future might like to consider. The aim is for students to hear from and engage with people from organisations who can provide information, inspiration and advice. Which students will engage with this campaign? The campaign will be promoted to students across the University. We would expect it to be most popular with undergraduates from year 2 onwards, and those doing a Masters/PhD related to Sustainability. We would expect most interest from students in our College of Science & Engineering. Further engagement will come from students searching #EdSustainabilityCareers on MyCareerHub and socials, including our Blog. Any webinars will also be recorded and made available to students afterwards, increasing the potential reach. How do I get involved? Attend our on-campus networking event Aim We are looking for organisations whose purpose is directly related to improving sustainability who would like to come onto campus and meet students in person. The on-campus event will be held in Appleton Tower. The event will focus on encouraging relaxed, informal conversations that allow students to gain a deeper understanding of some of the options that are open to them and what kind of factors they might want to consider in their search for a career that has a positive environmental impact and/or fights climate change. Format The event will begin with an introduction from Careers Service/Social Responsibility & Sustainability staff followed by very brief introductions from each of the 8-12 organisations in attendance. Each organisation can bring 1 or 2 representatives. These representatives will then spread around the room, and students will be encouraged to circulate to talk to them to find out more. The event will not be set up like a fair - students and representatives will be free to move around the venue to interact with each other. Soft drinks will be provided. Cost There is no charge for organisations to participate. Date & Time Wednesday 15th November 6pm - 8pm Bookings for 2023/24 are not yet open. If you wish to receive an invitation when bookings launch, please Contact employers@ed.ac.uk Provide content for the campaign During the campaign period we'll be encouraging students to search for content on socials, plus vacancies and events on MyCareerHub using #EdSustainabilityCareers. Ensure that you've uploaded any relevant opportunities to MyCareerHub and added #EdSustainabilityCareers as part of your vacancy and event description so that it will appear in students' search results. We are keen to reinforce the message that you don’t need to work in sustainability or the environmental sector to have a career that supports sustainability so we welcome opportunities aligned to sustainability from other sectors too. You can also use the hashtag on your own social media posts to help University of Edinburgh students engaging with the campaign to find you. Listing your vacancies and events Write a blog post A great way to provide some content for the campaign is to write a guest piece for our Inform.ed Blog. This might be a good option if you are interested in being part of the campaign but aren't able to participate in one of our events. We'd be looking for someone from your organisation to write something that gives our readers an insight into your career path, your sector or type of role. We are keen to use the blogs to reinforce the message that "Sustainability is all our jobs” so explaining why your organisation wants new recruits to care about sustainability would be great. Take a look at our blog to get a feel for the content we publish and let us know what you'd like to write about.
