Product Description
Synopsis
Society has become more aware of the need to take practical steps to protect and conserve our environment. This has led to an increase in the number of environmental courses and environmental jobs and careers available. For many related careers there is no set entry route as training requirements vary considerably. This book outlines where the jobs and careers are in the public, private and voluntary sectors, and aims to help the reader decide which area they are best suited to. It explains how and where to gain experience and training, and offers practical advice on how to plan what to do next and how to increase chances of employment.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most comprehensive environmental sector reference book, 18 April 1999
By A Customer
We are frequently asked 'How do I get a job in the countryside?' and only those who have tried to answer this apparently simple question will appreciate just how complex and confusing the answer can be!

In response to the demand, many 'green' organisations have produced their own leaflets on the subject, but these tend to be too short or too single-minded to give the whole picture. As a former Careers Adviser, by comparison, Buffton has taken a much more detailed and impartial overview of all types of work in the UK environmental / countryside sector. An introductory chapter sets the scene, followed by a chapter each on working in the public, private and voluntary sectors. Other chapters cover taking stock of yourself, improving your employability, your skills and your qualifications, studying and taking the next step. A Glossary, List of Useful Addresses and an Index are also included.

'Working for the Environment' is the most comprehensive account I have come across and covers the Who, What, Where, When, How and Why of the most important career in the world. Niall Carson, Countryside Jobs Service
