Are You Ready for Green Career Week? It Could Help Seed the Future
September 6, 2022 Dozens of agriculture, floriculture, and horticulture companies nationwide will connect with high school students to showcase careers within their businesses during Seed Your Future’s inaugural Green Career Week, scheduled for Oct. 3-7, 2022.
Participating businesses will do at least one of three things: invite high school students to visit their business; send company representatives to high schools to talk about career opportunities; or join a social media campaign to promote green careers.
Seed Your Future, the Society of American Florists’ partner organization that connects students with green jobs, hopes the event will showcase the variety of careers in the industry, including those in STEM, business management, design, and marketing.
“No matter a student’s passion, they can find that career in these industries,” says Seed Your Future Executive Director Jazmin Albarran.
Seed Your Future offers step-by-step instructions for reaching out to schools, as well as detailed itineraries for student activities and a sample news release for companies to use to spread the word. Companies must register for the event to receive those resources.
“We created these tools to make it easy for companies to participate in the event,” Albarran says. “Companies of all sizes can take part.”
As of this post, the event already had nearly 60 companies registered.
