Students at Charles Sturt University (CSU) are being urged to consider taking a step towards creating positive environmental change and embracing the sustainability sector. CSU is the first regional university to host the Green Steps program following its introduction by Monash University in 2000. It has expanded to a number of metropolitan universities and won several major awards including a Banksia Environmental Award. The Green Steps program is a nationally recognised training and internship course offered to students from a range of degrees in 2011. Inaugural Green Steps coordinator, Ms Nicole Hyde, said, “Green Steps is open to students from across Charles Sturt University. The students who are selected will benefit from 30 hours training and 12 days placement with an organisation working on environmental sustainability projects, developing useful networks. Green Steps bridges the gap between the knowledge acquired through study and the skills required in the ‘real world’ of work. Training will be offered in environmental auditing, project planning and management, and communications.”
