Work Placements - Information for Green Steps Participants

The placement program is open only to participants of the Green Steps university course. For this course a work placement must be completed in order to graduate from the program.

Work placements usually take place during university holidays, either in the June-July period or the November-February period. However, placements can be arranged at other times as long as they are completed before the end of February each year.
