Browngirl Green’s Kristy Drutman: Taking the mystery out of finding a green job
When you know you want a green job but you have no idea how to find organizations that fit you —your interests, your experience, and your personality—what do you do? The Year of the Climate Job host, Daniel Hill, talks with Kristy Drutman, who founded Browngirl Green and the Green Jobs Board, to solve exactly this problem. Because she faced it herself, and she had to learn to demystify climate work before she could find her own path in it. The truth is, the climate economy is growing and evolving. Every day, new green jobs are being created. But it’s a confusing job market shrouded in mystery. It’s no wonder it’s difficult to identify the right companies and roles for you. In this first episode of our new mini-series, “The Year of the Climate Job,” Kristy offers strategies you can put to work today to get unstuck. And she tells us how she developed her own climate career roadmap when one wasn’t clear. She also speaks to how she’s attacking a big problem: the exclusionary history of climate-related employment. And she invites you to help make necessary changes to bring more people into the fold to address the urgent issue of the climate crisis.
