Who is it For?
Geared especially to those of you who are secondary teachers and faculty at the collegiate levels, GUP-24 may also be of interest to school career counselors and other administrators. Of course, your students are also welcome to join if you’d like them to have a front-row seat as industry leaders in myriad fields highlight new performance benchmarks and what they mean for new job opportunities and skill demands.
What Does GUP-24 Cover?
Because sustainability is about systems that work together over space and time, GUP-24 focuses on real-world examples of innovations that can draw on your students’ diverse talents and skill sets. Thus, the sessions focus on multi-disciplinary projects illustrating new green or sustainability skills content and pedagogy you can infuse across your courses and programs. Examples include:
✓ Businesses designing with nature and the candidates they seek,
✓ Green value chains (e.g., think furniture and carpeting) and what they illustrate about new roles for graduates,
✓ Regenerative buildings and the teams and skills involved across their life cycle,
✓ AI and other advanced technologies, how green skills help future-proof careers, etc.
What is the Format?
With five live interactive panels, fifteen presenters, and five keynote speakers, GUP-24 uses an online format with a plug-in summit interface. It looks like a conference with break-out rooms, Q&A spaces, mainstage sessions, resource zones, and video viewing areas.
