Careers in Sustainability: What Students Should Know Before Attending

Sustainability careers spark curiosity for many students, yet the pathway often feels unclear. The Careers in Sustainability Dinner on January 22 creates space for honest conversations, real insights, and meaningful connections with professionals actively working in ESG, climate policy, and impact-focused roles.

This evening, hosted by Sustainability in Business Laurier, runs from 7 to 10 pm at Veritas Cafe and follows a dinner-style format that prioritizes interaction. Expect thoughtful keynote insights, guided table conversations, and opportunities to ask the questions that actually matter.

Students who attend can expect to leave with:

• Clearer understanding of career options within sustainability

• Stronger confidence when approaching networking spaces

• Practical insight into skills and experiences that matter

• Connections that can support future co-op and career goals

Come curious, come engaged, and come ready to learn from people who are shaping the future of sustainability across industries.
