Career Profile Library

The Career Profile Library is a collection of relevant real-world careers that tie directly to the lessons and projects from the Climate Action Kit. These Career Profiles are featured directly in each of the lessons in the Lesson Library to inspire students with potential career pathways related to the project they’ll be working on.

Additionally, in the ‘Create’ phase of Climate Action Kit projects, students will adopt the persona of the Career Profile to create a project that could be a solution to a real-life problem someone in that career may encounter.
