Environmental and Social Justice Career Fair

In September 2023 we hosted the first ever Environmental and Social Justice Career Fair, in collaboration with the Wits School of Law and Wits Law Students Council to promote #careersforthefuture.

On 29 September 2023, a range of organizations, firms, and institutes tackling intersecting justice struggles hosted stalls and were available to answer students’ questions at the Wits School of Law. The goal was to empower students to cultivate a wider conception of what one can do, and offer with, a law degree in pursuit of a just and sustainable future in South Africa and beyond. The career fair was aimed at those who would like to embark on a career path that addresses intersecting struggles for justice related to the climate crisis and human rights. For example, check out the video from the Environmental Justice Fund here: 20230929_085749000_iOS.MOV.

We thank Isabella Potenza, who was the ELA’s 2022-2023 Student Representative, for the wonderful work she did in leading the organization of the event and making it such a huge success.

We also thank all participating organizations, who gave of their time and energy:
