The majority of 21st century jobs have not yet been created. National Geographic lists green design professionals as one of the fastest growing green jobs.

The mission of Ecosa is to restore health to the natural environment, and thus the human environment, through education in design. Our vision is of a world that blends ethical values and ecological patterns, with the vitality and dynamism of the design arts. For students who complete our certificate programs, specific career paths vary greatly and might include anything from consulting, professional design work, entrepreneurship, community development, local government work, or nonprofit management.
