Although Mount students may not necessarily be turning their career searches "green," companies that often employ Mount students, such as Enterprise Rent-a-Car, are advertising their commitment to their environment as a way to recruit potential employees.
An article on Enterprise's Web site describes: "Enterprise is actively deploying as many of its FlexFuel vehicles as possible near E85 fueling stations in order to build consumer awareness and increase the number of cars being fueled with E85, which, according to the EPA, (Environmental Protection Agency) can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 20 percent."
With an increasing number of companies like Enterprise going "green," in an attempt to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, students may easily land themselves in an environmentally-friendly career.
According to Vohra, who admits "we are beginning to see an increase in students interested in environmental issues," the Career Center offers a new collection of books to guide the environmentally conscious job searcher.
Considering the new course offerings and Environmental Studies minor, Career Center resources such as The Eco Guide to Careers that make a Difference, Environmental Careers in the 21st Century and The Big Green Internship Book, may be used more frequently by Mount students as they aspire to solve the ever more pressing problem of global warming.
