About The Project:
The Carbon Literacy Project (CLP) is a celebrated multi-award winning, globally unique climate change learning-and-doing project founded in Manchester. It is a registered charity (No 1156722) and is run on behalf of its trustees (The Carbon Literacy Trust) by founders Cooler Projects CIC, based at Manchester Metropolitan University’s Innospace. Based on a unique flexible framework for a day’s-worth of highly relevant climate-change learning, and with large-scale take-up across the UK and Europe, more than 29,000 learners have now been certified as Carbon Literate.

Carbon Literacy learning and certification covers the essentials of climate change, carbon footprints, how an individual can ‘do their bit’, and why it’s relevant from individual to organisation. Carbon Literacy (CL) is aimed at three distinct audiences – those that live, those that work, and, those that study. This allows The Project to capture all audiences with specific knowledge and motivation in its aim to offer every citizen Carbon Literacy.

The Project prides itself on its track record supporting interns and volunteers; see: http://carbonliteracy.com/work-with-us/past-volunteers/. In fact, other than the founders, all of our current staff started out volunteering with The Project!

About The Project:
The Carbon Literacy Project (CLP) is a celebrated multi-award winning, globally unique climate change learning-and-doing project founded in Manchester. It is a registered charity (No 1156722) and is run on behalf of its trustees (The Carbon Literacy Trust) by founders Cooler Projects CIC, based at Manchester Metropolitan University’s Innospace. Based on a unique flexible framework for a day’s-worth of highly relevant climate-change learning, and with large-scale take-up across the UK and Europe, more than 29,000 learners have now been certified as Carbon Literate.

Carbon Literacy learning and certification covers the essentials of climate change, carbon footprints, how an individual can ‘do their bit’, and why it’s relevant from individual to organisation. Carbon Literacy (CL) is aimed at three distinct audiences – those that live, those that work, and, those that study. This allows The Project to capture all audiences with specific knowledge and motivation in its aim to offer every citizen Carbon Literacy.

The Project prides itself on its track record supporting interns and volunteers; see: http://carbonliteracy.com/work-with-us/past-volunteers/. In fact, other than the founders, all of our current staff started out volunteering with The Project!

When interning with The Carbon Literacy Project, we will help you to develop knowledge and skills relevant to your desired career path and where possible will look to customise the work you do and involve you in the areas of work that will best support your longer-term career ambitions.

We ensure that all our volunteers and interns are Carbon Literacy trained. If you’re not already Carbon Literate when you join us, we will find a course for you so that you can gain this and potentially other certifications with us, as part of your skills portfolio.

Role Description:
As an Automotive Intern with The Carbon Literacy Project, you will be fully immersed in the workings of our small team, pitching in with daily activities, being assigned personal responsibilities and tasks, and carrying out specific project work as and when the need arises. Your work within the Sector Toolkit team will involve working closely with the automotive sector-lead to support the dissemination and development of current and future toolkits. You will learn about the structure and culture of the automotive sector and work alongside stakeholders and organisations delivering Carbon Literacy. Within this role you will build relationships with professionals in the automotive industry and understand the practicalities of running Carbon Literacy training to working groups in automotive.

Some of the work you might typically be involved in is likely to include specific sector work and additional general project work:

• Other generic project communications, content generation and social media generation and management.

We are also happy to work with you in expanding on tasks and projects you are involved in across The Carbon Literacy Project, depending on the skills you have and the skills you wish to develop. We would expect the customisation of work you do to be conducted in a way that maximises its usefulness to both you and The Carbon Literacy Project.

What you will gain from the placement:

• Network with people in the Automotive sector
• Keep up to speed with the latest changes within the industry
• Find where you can make a difference in the climate movement
• Improve your presentation and communication skills
• Get creative writing blogs and newsletters
• Establish connections with likeminded individuals

Key personal attributes:

• An interest in climate change learning and meaningful carbon reduction.
• An interest in, or willingness to learn about, the automotive sector.

• The willingness to learn, practice and hone new skills.

Desirable skills/experience:

• Experience volunteering or working with a charity, particularly in the field of sustainability.
• Certified as Carbon Literate.
• Some experience or knowledge of working with personal information and confidentiality.

We don’t expect any intern to arrive with all of these skills in place, and also know that you will probably arrive with many other existing skills that we haven’t thought of listing, but The Carbon Literacy Project team will work with the successful intern, to help them build on their existing skills and develop those that are new to them, with the aim of delivering a great internship, a sound personal development experience and a better environment for all involved. We are flexible and can confirm nearer the time whether this placement will be part or fully home-based (virtual), or in our office location.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
We particularly encourage applications from individuals who are Black, Asian, or an ethnic minority in the UK, as well as those from working class backgrounds, and those with disability, who are currently under-represented within The Carbon Literacy Project and the wider environmental sector.

About The Project:
The Carbon Literacy Project (CLP) is a celebrated multi-award winning, globally unique climate change learning-and-doing project founded in Manchester. It is a registered charity (No 1156722) and is run on behalf of its trustees (The Carbon Literacy Trust) by founders Cooler Projects CIC, based at Manchester Metropolitan University’s Innospace. Based on a unique flexible framework for a day’s-worth of highly relevant climate-change learning, and with large-scale take-up across the UK and Europe, more than 29,000 learners have now been certified as Carbon Literate.

Carbon Literacy learning and certification covers the essentials of climate change, carbon footprints, how an individual can ‘do their bit’, and why it’s relevant from individual to organisation. Carbon Literacy (CL) is aimed at three distinct audiences – those that live, those that work, and, those that study. This allows The Project to capture all audiences with specific knowledge and motivation in its aim to offer every citizen Carbon Literacy.

The Project prides itself on its track record supporting interns and volunteers; see: http://carbonliteracy.com/work-with-us/past-volunteers/. In fact, other than the founders, all of our current staff started out volunteering with The Project!

When interning with The Carbon Literacy Project, we will help you to develop knowledge and skills relevant to your desired career path and where possible will look to customise the work you do and involve you in the areas of work that will best support your longer-term career ambitions.

We ensure that all our volunteers and interns are Carbon Literacy trained. If you’re not already Carbon Literate when you join us, we will find a course for you so that you can gain this and potentially other certifications with us, as part of your skills portfolio.

Role Description:
As a Social Housing Intern with The Carbon Literacy Project, you will be fully immersed in the workings of our small team, pitching in with daily activities, being assigned personal responsibilities and tasks, and carrying out specific project work as and when the need arises. Your work within the Sector Toolkit team will involve working closely with the Social Housing Lead to support the dissemination and development of current and future toolkits. You will learn about the structure and culture of the social housing sector and work alongside stakeholders and organisations delivering Carbon Literacy. Within this role you will build relationships with sector professionals and understand the practicalities of running Carbon Literacy training to working groups belonging to the sector.

Some of the work you might typically be involved in is likely to include specific sector work and additional general project work:

• Toolkit updates and development in line with ongoing sector-specific projects.
• Replying to emails & general administrative tasks e.g. identifying fantastic action pledges from learners, updating sector toolkit maps, sharing Toolkits, Salesforce management.
• Support with introduction calls and other advocacy work, taking notes & following up.
• Research tasks, attending relevant webinars, reading relevant reports. Staying on top of what’s taking place in the sector.
• Marketing; collecting and editing case studies (videos, blogs etc.) Creating newsletters.
• Event planning support e.g. networking webinars, sessions for trainers.
• Other generic project communications, content generation and social media generation and management.

We are also happy to work with you in expanding on tasks and projects you are involved in across The Carbon Literacy Project, depending on the skills you have and the skills you wish to develop. We would expect the customisation of work you do to be conducted in a way that maximises its usefulness to both you and The Carbon Literacy Project.

What you will gain from the placement:

• Network with people in the Social Housing sector
• Keep up to speed with the latest changes within the industry
• Find where you can make a difference in the climate movement
• Improve your presentation and communication skills
• Get creative writing blogs and newsletters
• Establish connections with likeminded individuals

Key personal attributes:

• An interest in climate change learning and meaningful carbon reduction.
• An interest / willingness to learn about Social Housing.
• The ability to work well as part of a small team and as a pair.
• The willingness to learn and practice new skills.
• Competent English language skills.
• A desire to question, learn and act on that learning.
• Willingness to learn new software such as Salesforce.
• Good communication skills.

Essential skills/experience:

• Basic experience and competence with software such as Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint – others an advantage.

Desirable skills/experience:

• Experience volunteering or working with a charity, particularly in the field of sustainability.
• Certified as Carbon Literate.
• Some experience or knowledge of working with personal information and confidentiality.

We don’t expect any intern to arrive with all of these skills in place, and also know that you will probably arrive with many other existing skills that we haven’t thought of listing, but The Carbon Literacy Project team will work with the successful intern, to help them build on their existing skills and develop those that are new to them, with the aim of delivering a great internship, a sound personal development experience and a better environment for all involved. We are flexible and can confirm nearer the time whether this placement will be part or fully home-based (virtual), or in our office location.
