Hey,
What kind of students would thrive in the green economy?
The kind who aren’t just the best at tech…they’re the best at thinking, adapting, and collaborating.
Why? Because green jobs are people jobs that demand:
• Clear communication (especially with clients new to the tech)
• Teamwork (most jobs, like solar installation, aren’t one-person tasks)
• Problem-solving (finding solutions that fit local environments)
• Confidence and leadership (to advocate for green solutions in hesitant communities)
Welcome to Green Jobs Rising - Your insights into thriving in the green sector.
This isn’t just a newsletter now, it is a community.
We launched our new website last week.
It’s a platform where you’ll find our job board, social channels, and more ways to connect.
We’ve grown from just a newsletter into a community...a space for young African professionals in sustainability.
check it out, we built it for you!
Soft skills are not “nice to have.”
They’re the hidden curriculum that turns knowledge into impact.
Meet the voice behind that insight: Anne Kamonjo.
She’s a green education reformer and policy strategist, currently Director of Technical Education (UNESCO UNEVOC Centre Coordinator) and Director of Greening TVET and Climate Change at Kenya’s Ministry of Education.
Her mission is to embed green skills into education, looking into a future where, among others:
Waste management is taught alongside welding.
Renewable energy is as fundamental as electrical engineering.
Circular economy principles shape every trade.
Her LinkedIn page is a spring of fresh ideas and resources for anyone forging a green career.
Follow her today and learn from someone shaping how the next generation prepares for a sustainable, resilient future.
I believe lasting change requires mindset shifts, behavior transformation, and systems that support people to thrive, not just survive
