Promoting young women in sustainable careers
Women4Green aims to raise awareness of, make attractive, and tangible careers in the green sector (sustainability industry) for (young) women in the career orientation phase. Additionally, the project seeks to support companies in implementing strategies to better target and recruit women. Despite the promising future of the sustainability sector, very few women are currently employed in this field.
