[SPN-Discussion] GreenHomeNYC Careers: Sustainability Careers for Non-STEM Professions Tue, May 26, 2020 at 6:30 PM

[Pamela Berns]

So you don’t have a STEM degree, but you want a career in sustainability?
Green careers in New York are expected to increase in demand over the
coming years. In the US and globally, companies are moving forward with
their commitments to sustainability, creating opportunities across many
industries that will draw from a variety of disciplines, and policy experts
continue to plan for a fossil-free future.



Come learn from experts on sustainability careers, and hear from
professionals who have transitioned into green careers without a science or
engineering background.



*Eban Goodstein* – Director of Graduate Programs in Sustainability at Bard
College, with an M ED degree in Environmental Ed, an MBA in Sustainability
and an MS in Environmental Policy. The sustainability programs at Bard
mostly focus on non-STEM undergraduate majors to prepare them for careers
in this space.



*Betsy Harbison* – B2B Marketer, she made the switch into sustainability
when she became the Director of Marketing for Bright Power in October 2017.
Prior to that, she worked at a boutique management consulting firm focused
on increasing employee satisfaction and performance (marketing and
communications functional role) and the American Cancer Society
(fundraising and event planning functional role).



*Judith Albert *– Adjunct Professor at the New School teaching Corporate
Sustainability & Corporate Social Responsibility. Prior to making the
transition into sustainability, she worked in investment banking in Latin
America, New York and London.



*Tom Sahagian *– Building energy efficiency expert, he has worked for over
35 years in New York City and Westchester focusing on sustainability. Tom
received his college degree in Journalism and is a testament that
educational background should not serve as a barrier to a sustainability
career.
