To celebrate World Oceans Day, join us for the first webinar in OceanEarth Foundation’s Blue Futures series, exploring the many different career pathways helping shape the future of our oceans.
If you’re passionate about the environment, climate action, marine life or conservation, but unsure where you fit, Blue Futures is for you. Beyond marine biology, the ocean sector needs storytellers, policy makers, designers, engineers, communicators, innovators, scientists, community leaders and creatives all working together to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing our planet.
In the first of the series, join a panel of professionals working across marine conservation, ocean policy and sustainable ocean industries as they share their career journeys, what they studied, the challenges they’ve faced, and what working in the sector really looks like.
Featuring:
- Megan Connell – Program Manager, Great Barrier Reef Foundation
- Jordan Dwyer – Assistant Director of Domestic Ocean Policy, Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW)
- Jo Lane – SeaHealth Products
Together, we’ll explore:
- Different careers connected to ocean and environmental protection
- University and alternative pathways into the sector
- What skills and experience really matter
- What it takes to build a career with real impact
The panel discussion will be followed by a live Q&A session, with opportunities for attendees to ask questions directly to the speakers. Questions can be submitted live during the webinar or ahead of time during registration, giving participants the chance to reflect on what information, advice or insights would be most valuable to them before the session.
Whether you already know where you’re heading or are still figuring it out, Blue Futures is about helping young people discover meaningful pathways into protecting the future of our oceans.
