In recent years, joining the green workforce has become a much more intricate and competitive process for people interested in environmental sustainability and related fields.
There is a growing demand for skills and work experience among young people entering their careers. At the same time, the demand for green jobs is increasing dramatically with environmental awareness and the need to reduce impact on the planet. However, many young people face barriers to finding employment in this growing sector.
