The top executive of an online job board exclusively for the green economy is encouraging jobseekers, and those looking for other opportunities within the field, to utilize digital resources at their disposal as they seek to capitalize on the tremendous growth projected in sustainable careers.

“Green jobs are growing exponentially and it’s only going to get bigger in the months and years ahead,” said Joseph Boll, EcoCareers.org CEO. “This is your opportunity to get a headstart now by using the tools available to find out what kind of openings there are, figure out what credentials you need to be eligible, seek out training and apprenticeship opportunities and network with established professionals who can help you expand your career.”

EcoCareers.org is an online jobs board and resource website for all jobs in sustainability, whether traditional green jobs like solar panel technicians or environmental scientists to jobs in industries that are newer to sustainability, like fashion and manufacturing. EcoCareers.org seeks to connect employers, hiring managers and HR personnel in the green sector with jobseekers and the top talent in their respective industries.

Boll’s comments come as sustainable jobs have been expanding on a dramatic scale in recent times as climate change activism reaches a new peak and a growing number of corporations take on new sustainability goals in an effort to curb the dire effects on the environment. That trajectory is expected to continue in the coming years. This is especially the case in the United States, thanks to the recently-passed Inflation Reduction Act, which opens the door for billions in investment into renewable energy.

But countries like the United Kingdom and Canada have likewise joined the global race to become leaders in renewable energy. These developments hold the promise of a wealth of new jobs in emerging markets, bringing economic hope in an otherwise uneasy period of global recession fears.

The EcoCareers.org CEO added, “While there are an incredible number of job openings in the green economy, both now and expected in the future, there is actually somewhat of a talent shortage in this area. For jobseekers and those looking to gain entry into sustainable work, this is a key moment to get your feet wet. Don’t be afraid to take advantage of apprenticeship opportunities that might open up even to those with limited formal education or experience as companies look to fill gaps. Resources like EcoCareers.org will help to keep you informed of the opportunities, and you should absolutely use this time to take full advantage of that.”
