Greener Workforce, Greener Chesapeake Bay Watershed

A healthy and thriving Chesapeake Bay watershed requires people power; increasing workforce development for green career pathways drives restoration as well as economically secure, strong communities. Organizations across the watershed are working to support students and professionals at all levels to grow a workforce with the skills and knowledge necessary to benefit our environment. How can we strengthen and scale these efforts to build the green workforce the Chesapeake Bay needs?

Join us on Wednesday, January 21st from 12-1pm to learn more about local workforce development programs and regional efforts to align workforce development goals.

About CRC Roundtable

The Chesapeake Research Consortium (CRC) comprises seven research and education institutions around the Chesapeake Bay, convening with the goal of using science to inform management. We launched the CRC Roundtable, a monthly virtual seminar series, to host targeted, inclusive, and informed conversations matching scientific advances and management needs in a way that moves us collectively forward toward decision-making for effective and sustainable management of the Chesapeake Bay, its watershed, and its living resources. Learn more about what we accomplished in 2024 in our annual report and watch our 50th anniversary video.

The lunchtime seminars invite a diverse range of researchers, managers, and other professionals to have timely conversations around topics relevant to the Chesapeake partnership. The seminars also build connectivity across participating organizations and identify ways to increase our collective competency for decision making.
