OVERVIEW
The Green Institute Internship provides a 6-month innovative virtual program for acquiring knowledge, skills and experience within the field of sustainability. This program aims to nurture college students and fresh graduates ( of at most two years), thereby bridging the gap between education and career development. This is done by offering on-the-job-training and experience for effective employee development.
A culminating project is a requirement in partial fulfillment of this program, which is geared at offering sustainable and innovative solutions to the existing local challenges. Participants are expected to conduct an innovative solution starting from policies, advocacy or education to products, services and business models that address a specific challenge. The project is judged based on innovation, depth of impact, and scalability. The participant with the best community project is awarded a grant of $1000.
The Internship program builds participants by empowering them through capacity building and critical thinking skills to become eco-conscious, ethical and entrepreneurial leaders in their communities and therefore the world at large.
