As the nation's focus on the environment continues to grow, there is an ever-increasing demand for environmental jobs.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, if you're seeking a career in this field, you can look forward to a far more robust job market than graduates of many other disciplines and to earning a starting salary of more than double the nation's average. You can find opportunities for environmental careers in a variety of areas, including private industries, educational institutions, and government agencies (federal, state, or local). The Occupational Outlook Handbook shows that environmental careers are on the rise, with a 10-year growth rate of nearly 20 percent, which is far faster than average. 

Are you interested in learning more about these opportunities?  Are you an employer hoping to identify candidates for internships and new positions?   The Delaware Valley Chapter of the Air & Waste Management Association and the Society of Women Environmental Professionals are excited to present a dinner conversation with environmental, health, and safety professionals.  Join us for an evening of networking and career planning and learn about scholarship opportunities that are available.

• Environmental professionals - Please join us and help advance the careers of the next generation of environmental professionals and network with others in the environmental field
• Employers - Survey upcoming graduates from environmental programs at all of the top area colleges and universities under one roof
• Current students - Come find out what environmental professionals do on a day to day basis and see if this career path fits your goals

Costs for this event are:
