As part of our work to support the next generation of environmental professionals in Wales, Environment Platform Wales (EP Wales) is producing a series of bite-sized talks focused on careers and skills development. The guest podcast series feature early career environmental professionals from across the public, private and third sectors. Covering a wide range of disciplines related to the marine and terrestrial environment, fresh water, fisheries, soils, forestry, air quality, ecology, conservation, decarbonisation and more – the podcast series aims to inspire early career professionals and those at the start of their careers to consider new and exciting career pathways.
As part of an increased focus on early career support and student/graduate experience, the podcast series comes as EP Wales is set to launch a new Careers Hub on it’s website, in addition to new partnership programmes with member institutions in the spring and summer of 2021. The podcast recordings will be linked to via the upcoming careers hub, alongside research opportunities and placements, event and workshop listings.
