Your opportunity to find out about green jobs, hear from inspirational speakers and take part in a mini sustainability challenge.
What to expect
Green Futures will take place on Thursday 16 April 2026 in the Student Centre.
If you’ve ever thought you would like to work in a green job, but aren’t studying the ‘right degree’, then Green Futures is perfect for you.
Green Futures is an exciting event that will provide you with:
- a better understanding of what a ‘green’ job is and where to find one
- increased confidence and understanding of the value you can bring, whatever your skillset, experience, or academic discipline
- an opportunity to gain real-world experience for your CV.
On the day, you’ll work on a mini sustainability challenge and hear about a range of opportunities open to you.
You’ll hear talks from:
- a range of employers, representing job market areas where there is green job growth (for graduates from a range of disciplines). Our diverse set of speakers come from organisations including RWE, the Knepp Wildland Foundation, Climate Friendly Travel Services and Hemiko
- recent Sussex graduates who are now working in green jobs.
How to attend
Places are limited and will be allocated based on:
- why you would like to take part
- the number of applicants from each academic school (we aim to have a good discipline mix).
Refreshments will be provided.
Attending this event will help you gain points towards your Spirit of Sussex Award.
