Environment Analyst Early Careers Board Announce Free Webinar Series: Learn About Environmental & Sustainability Consulting

In September 2022, Environment Analyst released its Early Careers Survey, disclosing that of sector diversity, salaries, and early engagement with young learners to encourage take-up of relevant STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) subjects, when compared to other professional service sectors, was flagging behind.

As focus on environmental concerns takes precedence in the media and ‘Green Jobs’ boom due to innovation and investment in renewable and sustainable technologies, attracting diverse talent is crucial to meeting the employment gap.

This May, Environment Analyst’s Early Careers Board (ECAB) will be hosting a two-part free webinar series. Featuring members of the ECAB, including James Bickle, Senior Consultant at Delta-Simons, and Early Career Advisory Board Chair, ECAB members share their insights into the field of consulting, discuss the challenges and opportunities that come with this career path, and offer advice on how to become a successful consultant.
