It's Sustainability Week! 🌱To celebrate, we're hosting a Sustainable Careers Workshop this Wednesday in the Hive 🐝

Why attend:
✅ Being able to reference sustainability in your applications and interviews can be the difference between getting the job or missing out.

✅ In this practical workshop, you’ll explore the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), identify the one that genuinely matters to you, and learn how to turn your values, experiences and skills into a compelling “sustainability story” that will help in job interviews and applications.

✅ Every sector is moving towards a more sustainable future — and employers need graduates who can help lead that change. Join
this workshop and show them that you are that graduate! 💡💼
