In the environmental science field, there's something for everyone!

We would like to encourage you to explore careers and topics related to the field of environmental science. February features a wide array of opportunities, as well as the specialized work of those dedicated to conservation efforts, sustainability, and natural resources. Environmental endeavors are surprisingly eclectic and those involved have backgrounds and passions that create a rich tapestry of talents. There is truly something for everyone who wishes to get involved in creating a positive pathway to the future of our planet.


What a career that supports green infrastructure? Have you heard of solar panels? Solar panel technicians are also known as solar panel installers or solar photovoltaic technicians - they assemble, install, and maintain solar panels. People who might pursue this path might have an interest and ability to work with electrical systems. It doesn't hurt to know your way around a toolbox, either! Solar panel technicians are not only savvy with their hands but are also detail-oriented and interested in renewable energy.
