It goes without saying, but we’re not career counselors, so the results certainly aren’t a guaranteed predictor of your future job prospects—and you’ll have to head to the Climate Corps Hub to see what jobs are available in your region.
But what we do know—and what this quiz shows—is that the Climate Corps is for Americans of all backgrounds, skill sets, and interests. The Biden administration’s vision is to leverage the talents of all members of society, especially frontline and BIPOC communities, to build a diverse set of leaders with a wide set of tools needed to tackle every angle of the climate crisis. These roles aren’t just run-of-the-mill jobs; they are designed to open up life-long career opportunities. The Climate Corps has partnered with North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) to provide every corps member with apprenticeship readiness training, and Corps graduates will benefit from a streamlined pathway into federal service after their time in the ACC if they choose to pursue further work in government.
So, throw away any images in your head of what a “typical” corpsmember or corpsmember role looks like. The new Climate Corps has opportunities in urban and rural areas, in nature or within communities, for those eager to build technical skills or people skills, and more. The new Climate Corps is a reminder that we shouldn’t have to choose between good jobs and climate and clean energy jobs.
It’s a bold attempt to build career pathways and invest in America’s best asset: its people. Apply now.
