Connecting Sustainability & Environmental Education to Every Career Path
All Careers Approach
The ALL Careers approach to education connects environmental and energy understanding to every career path — not just the small subset traditionally labeled as “environmental or green careers.” The goal is to inspire and equip young people with the knowledge that environmental principles are relevant in every field, from finance and fashion to construction and technology.

Key Elements of the ALL Careers Approach
Environmental Literacy for All
Just as schools emphasize health and civic literacy, environmental and energy literacy are essential for a 21st-century education. Young people gain the knowledge and perspective they need to understand their role in protecting the planet and making informed decisions about the world around them.
