What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider?
For college students looking to enter the tech field or corporate sustainability in general, there are several entry-level positions to consider. Roles like software developer, associate product manager, or data analyst could be great starting positions.
There are also roles like business analyst and a few others that could contribute to a bigger, meaningful impact in this sector. These roles can lead individuals to earning a higher title, achieving more, and taking on greater responsibilities.
Internships are particularly valuable as they provide real-world experience and a chance to apply what you've learned in a practical setting. Internships are also a good way to figure out what not to do in your career, rather than just what to do.
Additionally, participating in hackathons, pitch events, and business case studies can give you a competitive edge and help you build a strong portfolio.
