Do you have a sustainability or net zero project that you need extra capability to progress?
Join us for a free 30-minute online information session to learn how our NSW Skills for Net Zero program can connect eligible organisations with talented tertiary students to help tackle sustainability and net zero projects.
At the session, you will:
- Learn how the NSW Skills for Net Zero program works
- Discover how a tertiary student intern can support your sustainability or net zero projects
- Understand the support available, the recruitment process and what makes a suitable project
- Hear directly from Good Earth Group, an organisation that has successfully hosted an intern through the program
- Have the opportunity to ask questions and understand the next steps.
About the program
The NSW Skills for Net Zero program, proudly funded by the NSW Government, connects organisations with talented tertiary students to undertake paid internships on projects that support decarbonisation and sustainability.
Students complete a minimum 200-hour internship and can support a broad range of sustainability, decarbonisation and net zero projects. This may include projects relating to emissions reduction, renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainability reporting, research and analysis, stakeholder engagement, communications, sustainable finance, environmental management and organisational sustainability strategies.
Eligible host organisations receive $2,500 towards the cost of the internship following successful completion of the student's placement.
CSIRO provides support throughout the process, including helping organisations scope a suitable project, promote the opportunity and connect with students.
Is the program right for your organisation?
You may be suitable if your organisation:
- Is an Australian entity operating in NSW
- Has at least 5 employees
- Has a sustainability, decarbonisation or net zero project that could benefit from additional capability
- Can provide a suitable supervisor and meaningful work for a tertiary student
- Is interested in developing emerging talent and contributing to NSW's future net zero workforce
Whether you're just starting to explore an idea or already have a project in mind, the webinar is an opportunity to find out whether an internship could help your organisation.
