Education for Sustainable Energy Careers Forum Proposal

Margot McDonald, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo

Abstract

How do you know where the educational opportunities are in sustainability? How can you learn about the existing careers and the new careers that need to be created? How can we teach sustainability literacy and engagement to all? Come hear from experts in sustainability education and community engagement. Learn about resources to locate educational programs that relate to emerging careers. Hear about a continuum of educational opportunities, including K-12, higher education in multiple disciplines, education for the built environment, and professional organizations’ initiatives. See how sustainability education can be useful in collaboration with the government, consumer and business sectors to create award winning community and regional partnerships for sustainability.
