Green Networking Fair Offers Look at Sustainable Businesses, Jobs
A Green Jobs Networking Fair from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26, offers UALR students an opportunity to investigate opportunities offered by sustainable companies for employment in “green jobs.”
The event in the UALR Reynolds Business Center atrium begins with a discussion by Mark A. Robertson of Mesa Landscape Architects Inc. on “green collar” jobs and sustainability companies who are part of the growing movement to curb greenhouse-gas emissions, eliminate toxins, and protect natural systems.
Representatives of 15 local businesses and organizations offering green or sustainability employment, internships, and volunteer opportunities also will be available to network with students and graduates.
Participants looking for employment or internship opportunities in organizations committed to preserving and enhancing environmental quality are encouraged to bring their resumes. Refreshments will be served.
The event is sponsored by UALR’s College of Business, the Black Business Student Association, Net Impact, and Massanelli’s Cleaning. For more information or to RSVP, contact Nancy Landrum at 501.569.8850.
