Careers with Purpose: Navigating to a Career in Sustainability

Katie Elder

Get on the path to work with a purpose.

We spend most of our lives at work and we want it to make an impact. Learn how.

More and more we have non-linear career paths that our parents or previous generations didn't have. We can feel lost and like we want to make a change to our direction but don't know how.

This course is inspired by the #1 question I get in my inbox from complete strangers on a consistent basis - I want to work in sustainability (aka I want my work to have meaning and be aligned with my values) but I don't know how to get started.

Do I need to do more courses or a degree?

How do I re-position myself?

Can I stay at my current company and move to a different role?

What types of companies and industries should I explore?

This course will help you get clear on your skills, values and where those can be helpful in shaping your next career step. That could be at your current company, starting your own, or finding a new role.

What you’ll learn

Feel confident that you can weave a very clear story about your past experience and confidently move ahead in your career.

  • Map your values - Define the type of impact you want to make and work towards it to live with more purpose everyday.

  • I'll share some of the recommended sources and help you find the right skills-based training

  • Do I need to change companies to start working in sustainability? This is a top question and I can help guide you through this.

  • Create momentum with live sessions and connections with peers to enhance your personal accountability with making a change.
