FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Brockton, MA) - BEE Project has partnered with Brockton Public Schools to host a two-week Green Jobs Pilot Program at Champion High School. The program will kick off on May 15, 2023, and will run through May 26, 2023.
The pilot program is designed for Freshman Environmental Science students to learn about the green jobs industry, the relationship between water and energy, and gain insight from industry professionals.
This Green Jobs Pilot program is sponsored by The Jack and Kathy Shields Family Foundation. During the two weeks, students will have a unique opportunity to explore the growing field of green jobs. Through a series of classroom discussions, guest speakers, and interactive activities, students will learn about the importance of sustainability and energy conservation while gaining awareness and valuable skills related to the green jobs sector.
“Throughout the school year, students at Champion High School have demonstrated a sincere interest in and passion for environmental conservation and sustainability. The Green Jobs Pilot Program will help our students understand how their passion can transfer to a number of career paths. We’re grateful to the BEE Project and the Shields Family Foundation for their support and for selecting the Brockton Public Schools as their pilot district,” said Superintendent of Schools Michael P. Thomas.
The program will also include a hands-on experiment with MakeWater.org to explore the interrelation between energy and water. The partnership between the BEE Project and MakeWater.org aims to inspire the next generation of environmental leaders by educating students on the importance of water conservation and sustainable practices.
"We are thrilled to bring our Green Jobs Pilot Program to Champion High School," said Sadie Bronk, Founder of the BEE Project.
