Green Steps is an award winning not-for-profit Australian environmental consulting and training provider. Our programs help participants make their workplaces and work practices more environmentally sustainable. Our impact on organisations and our inclusive training methodology have been recognised with a number of prestigious awards, including the national Banksia Environmental Award, Victorian Premier's Sustainability Award and the United Nations Association Education Award.

Are you currently studying at university?

The Green Steps flagship is a hands-on program that bridges the gap between knowledge acquired at university and skills required to create environmental change. The Green Steps @ Uni program is delivered to selected groups of students at universities around Australia and incorporates work experience through sustainability internships to give participants the opportunity to work on real-world projects. For organisations, this program provides access to high calibre university students for 15 days work on an environmental project to support your organisation.

Do you want to build your or your team's capacity?

Green Steps @ Work empowers participants to create change within their organisation and wider society. It is an intensive program offered in two formats for working professionals. As an offsite professional development course, we assist people already in the workforce who are looking for deeper understanding of sustainability issues, practical skills to create and drive sustainability programs and the expansion of their environmental networks. As an onsite training program, we offer tailored training delivered within one organisation, staff or client group.
