Canada’s commitment to building a net-zero economy by 2050 will create many new jobs, but employers are saying that students across different disciplines aren’t graduating with all the climate literacy, technical, and socio-emotional skills that they need for green jobs.
Work-integrated learning (WIL) is a proven way to help young people gain awareness of green careers, build skills through hands-on experience, and grow Canada’s productive workforce. But creating WIL for new programs and scaling WIL for existing ones is hard, especially for post-secondaries that face resource and agility constraints.
To help solve this challenge, BHER has developed solutions for increasing business + higher ed collaboration and advancing regionally-relevant green WIL.
