Employers can’t find young environmental professionals and young environmental professionals can’t find work utilizing their degree out of school. To make matters more challenging, many young professionals had their education interrupted by the Covid Pandemic. This presentation outlines the challenges and solutions for both employers and young professionals on how to recruit, mentor and maintain young environmental professionals in your organization. It also outlines the key qualities employers are looking for in their young environmental professionals.
