Green architecture, design and construction is the wave of the future. But what kind of jobs are available in this industry? And what kind of training/education do you need to pursue a career? On March 2nd, we'll be hosting a panel discussion with Nic Green (Chief Marketing Officer of PostGreen and the $100K House Project) and Brian Miller (Director of the Green Jobs Academy at Bucks County Community College). You'll hear about the career paths of each of these individuals, their current projects and have an opportunity to ask questions!
This new series brings dynamic career professionals into classrooms via videoconferencing. Panelists talk about their professional life/career path for 5-7 minutes (props or demonstrations are encouraged!) and then entertain questions from your students.
