CBEY’s Career Pathways in Business and the Environment program seeks to support students in their pursuit of careers in the private sector that focus on doing good for communities, ecosystems, and the planet.

We do this by offering ways to listen, learn and engage with people doing the work and building their fields.  Through webinars, small group discussions, mentorship opportunities and visual guides, our Pathways program offers many ways for students to see the various types of careers that exist at the intersection of business and the environment.
