Our College and University Sustainability Placement scheme was officially launched in partnership with the EAUC at their annual conference this April. The Conference tackled the progression towards a more sustainable future within the Further and Higher Education sector and embraced the successes so far whilst interacting with new ideas for its development.
With speakers such as Jonathon Porrit and Lembit Opik, the three day event was inspirational and above all provided the perfect platform from which to launch our scheme within Colleges and Universities across the UK. Presenting a workshop with the help of past and current Project Workers and clients, the programme was enthusiastically received and developed some great links with institutions that are keen to drive forward their environmental and social sustainability agendas through taking on a graduate.
We hope that our continuing development of the scheme in conjunction with the expertise and experience of the EAUC will enable the project to flourish and help to make progress within the sector towards a more sustainable future.
