Welcome to the Climate Career Portal!

On March 22nd the Iron & Earth team launched our newest platform - the Climate Career Portal. The Climate Career Portal is a first of its kind online career building tool created to help fossil fuel workers transition to jobs in the net-zero economy.

It is a one-stop platform that directly helps workers in the fossil fuel industry understand how their current skills transfer to a wide range of careers in climate solutions including rapidly growing industries such as wind, solar, energy efficiency, and more. The Climate Career Portal connects workers to current job openings, training programs, and energy projects in the net-zero economy across Canada. Whether you are a worker looking to transition, a company looking to post jobs and attract skilled applicants, an educational institution looking to share your training programs, or simply curious to learn more, we invite you to check out the platform at:

If you missed our online launch event, you can view the recording on our YouTube Channel.  The launch event was hosted by our Executive Director Luisa Da Silva and included an opening speech from Minister of Labour Seamus O'Regan, a demonstration of the platform from it's Co-Founders, and an experienced and engaging panel discussion on the energy transition in Canada. Our panel speakers included Dr. Tamara Krawchenko from the University of Victoria, Paul de Groot from Kuby Renewables, Desmond Bull - Chief of the Louis Bull Tribe of the Maskwacis Nation, Keegan Leahy from Iron & Earth and the Turtle Island Foundation, and Luticia Miller - President of NineIrons ESG Consulting.

Iron & Earth was founded within Treaty 6 Territory and within the Métis homelands and Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4. We acknowledge this land as the traditional territories of many First Nations, including the Nehiyaw (Cree), Denesuliné (Dene), Nakota Sioux (Stoney), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot).

Iron & Earth acknowledges that our work takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. We recognize the ongoing impacts of colonialism and the deep connection that Indigenous communities have with the land, water, and environment. Our commitment to a Just Transition is informed by Indigenous land stewardship principles. We are dedicated to fostering partnerships with Indigenous communities, respecting their sovereignty, and learning from their knowledge and traditions. We strive to ensure that our initiatives are inclusive and support community-driven climate solutions, contributing to a sustainable and equitable future for all. We honor the diverse histories, languages, and cultures of Indigenous Peoples and commit to continuing our journey of learning and reconciliation as we work together toward a thriving green economy.
