What is a green job?

UN’s International Labour Organization (ILO) defines green jobs as “jobs that contribute to preserving or restoring the environment by incorporating one or more of the following aspects: improving energy and raw materials efficiency; limiting greenhouse gas emissions; minimizing waste and pollution; protecting and restoring ecosystems; and supporting adaptation to the effects of climate change”

Green Micro-Internship Program

The Micro-Internship program is a unique opportunity designed for New Brunswick High school students eager to explore sustainable career paths. Participants spend a day at an environmentally focused workplace where they engage with professionals in the field and gain firsthand experience of what a typical day looks like. This hands-on approach encourages a deeper appreciation for environmental stewardship and empowers the next generation of leaders in sustainability.

The youth of today are the leaders, innovators, scientists, entrepreneurs and decision makers of tomorrow. The Gaia Project is a unique organization helping students to understand and take action against this existential threat, now and in the future.

John Reid

Opportunities with The Gaia Project have helped to bring about real changes, not only in the students' understanding and views of the world around them and their capacity to help, but also in the way the school is actually run as we have made concrete changes in some of our energy consumption strategies and practices.

Young people have a role in protecting our climate today and tomorrow, this is why we're happy to support The Gaia Project in their mission of empowering youth.
