5:00pm - Emerging Low Carbon Careers
From solar panel installers to energy managers to corporate
sustainability officers, opportunities in "low-carbon" careers in
BC are growing. But what kind of training, education and experience
is required for these jobs? Where do "green jobs" already exist?
Which industries are growing the fastest? Which ones will be the
first to recruit, hire and train new employees? Hear from a panel

institutions and development agencies who can answer these
questions and who will discuss both existing and emerging low
carbon careers.
