CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA, January 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Following the success of the Net-Zero Bootcamp at Holland College, ECO Canada is thrilled to present “Net Zero 101: 2-day Virtual Student Bootcamp (Bilingual)” on January 18 – 19, 2025.
Canada needs over 40,000 skilled environmental workers to enter the workforce every year for the next decade. ECO Canada aims to bridge the gaps between industry needs and future environmental professionals through unique Work Integrated Learning opportunities.
This Net Zero boot camp will help post-secondary students across Canada gain a baseline understanding, practical skills, and real-world industry connections in the environmental sector from the comfort of their own desk.
"My experience with the Bootcamp was highly valuable as someone looking to apply my skills into a sector where more 'meaningful' or 'purposeful' work exists. Although I'm sure I just scratched the surface, learning the language and doing some calculations helped me feel much less intimidated about the idea of transferring my skills." Andrew Jupina, Project Management Post-Graduate Certificate student at Holland College.
"As a marketing student with no prior experience in the energy sector but want to do something nice to the planet, the Net Zero Bootcamp provided me with fundamental knowledge about net zero, valuable insights into national and provincial energy industries, and potential career pathways. Thank you, ECO Canada, for coming to our school and hosting such a high-quality event!" Roxanne Huang, Marketing and Advertising Management.
