The Green Careers Mission is a day of challenges and project work that will see you work with potential employers from Manchester to tackle key sustainability issues set out by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA).

You will work with students from a variety of subjects and universities across Manchester to develop an idea that you think will help Manchester reach a more sustainable future. Your team’s challenge will be set by a green employer who will provide you with mentorship and feedback throughout the day.

This is a fantastic opportunity to discover why being a sustainable graduate makes you so employable, alongside a chance to network with employers looking for green graduates. This will give you a fantastic story to tell potential employers on your CV and in an interview. This challenge will also let you see what bringing sustainability to our local community looks like and provide you with an appreciation of the potential and challenges of implementing sustainable solutions in the real world.

Following the challenge day you will have the option to present your ideas at the Manchester Green Summit. At the summit you will have the opportunity to network with employers, politicians, and community sustainability champions in Manchester!
