Elsewhere on Ulster
From accredited Carbon Literacy Training through Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful to self directed learning activities such as Nature Connectedness
Employers are increasingly looking for students and graduates with 'green skills' and an understanding of sustainability across industries. Through the Ulster Graduate Award you can develop your understanding of sustainability, carbon literacy and the environment and how it affects your chosen industry, subject area and future career.
"While many companies are working to reduce their carbon footprint, the focus of sustainability work is moving quickly from reducing environmental impact to mitigating against further climate change. This includes restoring the health of the planet and what has already been lost from nature.
Sustainability has to be a new way of working and not just a job that is someone’s responsibility. It has to involve everyone finding better work methods, using less virgin materials, reusing existing resources and creating efficiency through analysis and planning , using digital skills and technology."
Delivered and certified by Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful (KNIB), funded places are available each academic year. Participating students will complete a 1 day online training course and will be required to complete the follow up pledge to complete their accreditation.
Course dates will be confirmed in due course. Places are limited.
Although currently unavailable this course is expected to be available again early 2026. This free online course covers 8 units covering why nature connectedness matters to how we can improve nature connectedness through people, pathways and societies. You do not need any previous knowledge or experience to complete this free online course.
