Careers in Sustainability (2-6 February 2026)

We know that having a role where you are making a positive environmental impact or fighting climate change is important to many of you.   

During our Careers in Sustainability campaign, we’re shining a light on some of the options and providing information, inspiration, and advice on how to build skills and experience. 

This campaign is for all- it doesn’t matter what stage you are at in your career planning. Sustainability is a vital mindset for every workplace; you don't need to work in the sustainability or environmental sector to have a career that supports sustainability. 

  • We’ve worked with Social Responsibility & Sustainability to put together a schedule of events.
  • Search #EdSustainabilityCareers on socials and MyCareerHub.  We’re adding this hashtag to events, vacancies and other content relevant to Sustainability theme to make them easier for you to find.
