Green Careers FAIR

1-4 pm Wednesday 17th February 2027
Club 601, Union Building, University of St Andrews

SEDA’s green careers fair will run from 1 pm to 4 pm on Wednesday 17th February 2027.

The fair will showcase small and medium sized enterprises, as well as large corporations, in order to highlight the full range of green jobs available. Only people or companies run along ecological principles have been invited.

It is SEDA’s wide network of connections in ecological and sustainable sectors that will make this event different from normal careers fairs. We have invited many people not normally represented such as community renewable energy practitioners, hemp insulation manufacturers and green health prescribers.

Exhibitors

Over 80 green exhibitors from a wide range of sectors will be ready to talk to you in the two exhibition halls. We have only invited people who practice genuinely ecological work. There will be no green washing at this fair.

Come with an open mind and be surprised at the variety of jobs that might suit you.

Lantra representatives and SEDA guides will be there to help direct you.

Choose which UN Sustainability Goals you would like to work with to help direct you to the most relevant careers. Exhibitors will be divided into sectors described by the UN goals.
