For more career opportunities from various industries, please access Career
Axis. Dear Students, Feeling the heat from
our warming planet recently? Climate
change, depletion of natural resources and rapid urbanisation are fuelling
the world’s demand and imperative need for cleaner and more sustainable
solutions. This shift towards a low-carbon, resource-efficient economy will
result not only in new products and services but also intensify changes in
production processes and business models. To cope with the transition, green
talents, or better known as workers with the knowledge or skills needed to
support environmental sustainability, become increasingly vital to accelerate
the world’s transition to net zero. According
to LinkedIn's latest Global Green Skills Report 2022, the portion of green
talent in the global workforce rose from 9.6% in 2015 to 13.3% so far in 2022
– that computes to a 38.5% growth rate! The greening of the economy will
inevitably change the skills required and the tasks involved in many of the
existing occupations. Most notably, at least one green skill is required
among 10% of LinkedIn job postings, even for roles not in the environmental
sector. This goes to show how sustainability is here to stay and the demand
for green jobs will continue to increase across all industries. While
it can be commonly misperceived that only a niche degree can apply for green
positions, there is in fact a career path for everyone when it comes to
sustainability. If you are keen on starting a green career, consider
upskilling yourself based on the Top
5 Skills in-demand for Careers in Sustainability identified by
SkillsFuture.
