Here’s an opportunity we hope lots and LOTS of Manchester Climate Monthly readers take up. We recently got this email from the folks at the National Union of Students… We have since confirmed that the offer is open to everyone, not just staff and students at MMU.
[UPDATE 6 June : We have now been told that it is, after all, only open to MMU staff and students. We apologise for giving out information that turns out not to be accurate.]
“Following the successes of Green Impact at MMU, this year we’ve partnered with NUS and Manchester City Council to pilot the programme in a local authority for the first time. They’re now opening their doors for staff and students from the University to audit the teams and departments who have taken part in the inaugural year. If you want to gain new skills, experience a different working environment and find out more about sustainability, then coming along to our practical training session on the 12th June.
The programme will take place from 10:00 until 16:30 on Tuesday 12th June at MMUnion and will consist of practical training and skills development in the areas of environmental management and auditing. Full refreshments including lunch will be provided before newly trained auditors visit sites around Manchester to conduct audits. A career development pack, certificate and volunteer recognition letter will be given to all participants following completion of the day. To register, or if you have any questions, please contact charlotte.bonner@nus.org.uk.
