Student Futures Internships Programme
A Green Future Awaits
In 2023 Student Futures ran a Green Internship Project with three LJMU students. Their assignment was to explore the area of Green Careers and Skills in more depth. The project ran over 12 weeks and covered:
- creation of infographics
- LinkedIn Learning – analysis of the Global Green Skills Report 2022
- creation of diverse graduate case studies
- professional interview with green industry sector leaders
- blogs on topical sustainability and green area careers
- creation of a sustainability careers fair guide
Watch the three interns deliver their project at the Student at the Heart Conference 2023, and talk about their experiences of working on a 'green' initiative:
Here are a series of blog articles developed by the student interns as part of the Green Internship Programme:
- Unlocking Success: A Student’s Guide to Upskilling and Reskilling
- Going Green: Paving a way for a sustainable career
- Green Careers and Thought: My Internship Experience
- Green Careers Internship – Student Survey
- Internship programme week by week
