We’ll help you understand how to stay informed, adaptable, and prepared. Whether you’re a job seeker, employer, or industry stakeholder, learn what skills are essential to thrive in Canada’s evolving green economy and how you can prepare for the opportunities ahead.
10:00 a.m.–11:00 a.m. | Beth Burrows
Webinar | The Power of our Words: Why Writing Well Matters
Beth believes in the power of our words and the impact they can have on our work, our careers, and our professions. Writing well is a practical, powerful leadership skill for anyone who wants to be heard and understood. In the environmental industry it is important that technical information be accessible to our diverse audiences. This webinar will explore how to make our writing accessible to our readers, write purposefully, and tailor documents to meet our readers’ needs.
11:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.
VCF Networking Tables
Engage in focused conversations with peers, professionals, and mentors around key topics in the environmental sector. Each table provides a welcoming space to share experiences, ask questions, and explore practical insights, from advancing women in leadership, supporting youth employment, navigating education and accreditation, to building meaningful career connections and exploring professional certification.
Advancing Women to Leadership Roles: Experience Sharing on Systemic Barriers
This table is inspired by ECO Canada’s project Advancing Women to Leadership Roles in Agriculture, Agri-food and Ocean Sector, which champions gender equality and inclusive leadership in traditionally male-dominated industries. It’s a space for open dialogue, reflection, and learning — especially for newcomers and recent graduates who are beginning to explore their place in the sector. Join us to hear stories, share your own, and discuss practical ways to foster equity and inclusion in your career journey.
YES to Opportunity: Empowering Youth Facing Employment Barriers
This table is inspired by ECO Canada’s YES project, which supports youth who face systemic barriers to employment — including Indigenous youth, racialized youth, 2SLGBTQI+ youth, newcomers to Canada, and youth with disabilities. Join this space to share experiences, explore pathways to meaningful work, and connect with others who value diverse perspectives and inclusive workplaces. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for guidance, this is a place to be heard, supported, and inspired.
Accredited Pathways: Education, Skills, and Career Readiness
This table is inspired by ECO Canada’s Accreditation Programs, which recognize post-secondary environmental programs that meet national standards of excellence. Join this conversation to explore how education shapes career readiness, what accreditation means for students and employers, and how newcomers and graduates can leverage their learning to build meaningful careers in the environmental sector.
Career Connections: Meet, Share, and Grow
This table is designed for open networking and casual conversation. Whether you’re a recent graduate, newcomer to Canada, early-career professional, or simply exploring opportunities in the environmental sector, this is a space to meet others, share your journey, and build meaningful connections. No agenda, just good conversation and community.
Certified Conversations: Exploring the EP Journey Together
This table is inspired by ECO Canada’s Environmental Professional (EP) Certification programs, including EPt and EPt Student. While you can learn all the technical details at the ECO Canada booth or in the Unlock Your Environmental Career webinar, this space is designed for open conversation. Whether you’re just starting to explore certification or curious about how it fits into your career path, join us to ask questions, hear from others, and share your thoughts on professional growth in the environmental sector.
11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. | Andrew Janzic
Webinar | Elevate your Personal Brand: Stand out and Succeed with LinkedIn
This session will explore how to elevate your personal brand on LinkedIn in a way that reflects your unique strengths and professional goals. Learn to present yourself with clarity and authenticity, build meaningful connections, and turn your visibility into real-world results.
12:00 p.m.–1:00 p.m. | Helen Crawley & Coleen Mahoney
Webinar | Unlock Your Environmental Career: The Power of ECO Canada Certifications
Thinking about boosting your environmental career? Join us to explore how ECO Canada’s certifications, EP®, EPt, and EPt Student, can open doors, enhance credibility, and support long-term career growth.
1:00 p.m.–2:00 p.m. | Michael Chiasson
