How is artificial intelligence reshaping sustainability work—and what does it mean for your career?

From hiring and job searches to the skills employers value most, AI is already transforming how people find, prepare for, and succeed in sustainability and mission-aligned roles. Understanding these shifts isn’t optional—it’s essential for anyone planning their next career move.

Join Dr. Eban Goodstein, economist and Director of the Bard Graduate Programs in Sustainability, in conversation with Ayana Fernandes Pilgrim, CEO of The Talent Cornerstone Co, for a practical, forward-looking discussion on how AI is reshaping the sustainability job market.

Together, they’ll explore how AI is changing:

• The way employers recruit, screen, and hire
• The skills and experiences that stand out in sustainability roles
• Job search strategies—from resumes to networking—in an AI-influenced market

This free webinar will help you cut through the hype and focus on what actually matters: how to position yourself for meaningful, mission-aligned work as technology reshapes the employment landscape.

What You’ll Gain

• Expert Insight: Hear directly from leaders working at the intersection of sustainability, talent, and workforce trends
• Live Q&A: Bring your questions and get real-time guidance

ABOUT THE EVENT

Join us in New York City on February 19 for an evening that brings together ideas, people, and real momentum in sustainability. Sponsored by the Bard MBA in Sustainability, this event is designed for students, prospective students, faculty, and anyone curious about how sustainability is reshaping business, leadership, and careers.

The evening will feature fast paced lightning talks from three sustainability leaders working at the intersection of business, climate, and social impact. Expect sharp insights, candid perspectives, and practical takeaways. The program is intentionally informal, creating space for meaningful conversation over complimentary lite bites and cocktails. You’ll have the opportunity to connect with Bard MBA in Sustainability students and faculty, as well as professionals from across the sustainability ecosystem.

Bard’s MBA in Sustainability is a globally leading business program that fully integrates sustainability vision, real world consulting engagements, organizational transformation and entrepreneurial training, equipping graduates who are changing the game. Learn about our theory of change here.  

This event is open to the public. You do not need to be affiliated with Bard to attend.

NO PITCHING/SALES. We want open, inspiring, agenda-less conversations where people feel free to share. Therefore, there is to be absolutely no pitching or selling of your product or service nor fund-raising. If any attendees feel that this request hasn’t been respected, let us know and that person will not be invited back.
