Young workers are searching for “green jobs.” According to a LinkedIn survey, 75% of Gen Z workers have become even more concerned about climate change over the past year. Most (61%) want to land a “green job” within the next five years, but less than 20% are certain about how they can achieve this goal. The majority of young workers perceive a shortage of green jobs. However, this is not supported by data—the number of “green jobs” (jobs that focus on climate change) is growing at a rate almost twice as fast as the growth of workers with green skills. And the skills required for these jobs are becoming more accessible through online courses, rather than requiring a return to formal education. (Fast Company)
