The written application

To apply for the Green Steps @ Uni program, please email the following to greensteps@monash.edu by midnight on the application deadline shown in upcoming programs. You'll need to submit:

1. A cover letter explaining why you would like to do the program and what you would hope to get out of participating;
2. Your current Curriculum Vitae; and;
3. The 1 page task outlined below.

Include these elements in ONE Microsoft Word document, with your name and university as the file name: Firstname_Lastname_Universityname.doc. Please ensure that the entire application document is no larger than 3MB, and that you clearly identify which Green Steps @ Uni program you are applying for in the subject line of the email.

Applications that do not conform to this format or are received after the application deadline will not be accepted.

The task

Imagine you are an employee of a medium sized business, with half of your time allocated to delivering environmental projects. You have approached your manager about an energy saving program you would like to run in your workplace. They have asked you to develop a 1 page project brief outlining what energy savings activities you would undertake for the project in the first 6 months. This should cover as many aspects of the organisation's energy use and resulting greenhouse gas emissions as possible, rather than focusing on one particular activity.

* Please note that we are not looking for extensive details on the project, but rather a 1 page project 'snapshot', and using bullet points is accepted.
