The programme combines training and real world experience, providing and developing the skills and knowledge to effect environmental change, as well as many other transferable skills essential to successfully progressing in your careers no matter what degree you are studying for or sectors you are interested in. Green Steps provides a hands-on, practical approach to learning which values and builds on the knowledge of participants.

Over 800 students from Warwick and 8 Australian universities, working in partnership with over 450 organisations have completed the Green Steps programme becoming part of the Green Steps community, with Warwick being the first University outside of Australia to offer this highly regarded programme.

What are the aims of the programme?

The Green Steps @ Warwick programme aims to provide you with:

· Skills and knowledge to be effective change agents within organisations

· Skills and knowledge to conduct basic sustainability audits

· Opportunity to enhance your employability skills, increased confidence and effective approaches to operating in a professional context

· Experience and opportunities working within an environmental sustainability role.

Green Steps focuses on the first things to consider when you walk into an organisation, and how to create change through day-to-day interactions, communication and behaviour change. So whether you are an arts student with an interest in environmental issues, a business student with an interest in organisational behaviour or an engineering student with an interest in sustainable technology Green steps has something to offer.

How do I apply?

You will have a basic understanding of environmental issues, and a desire to work within Organisations to create change. The programme is open to all Warwick students, you do not have to be studying environmental issues as part of your course to take advantage of this opportunity.

If you are in your final year, you are still eligible. However, it is important to note that commitment to the scheme will be taking place during graduation week with additional complications, in particular for IT, building and Library access, as you will no longer be classed as a full member of the University after your graduation.

Green Steps has a competitive application process to ensure participants are motivated, capable and suitable for the programme, and come from a variety of disciplines. The application process is in two stages:

· Submit your online application form as outlined below by the deadline of 9am Monday 16th March 2015.

· Face-to-face interview for shortlisted applicants take place between the 20-24th April 2015.
