“I was a second-year student at Greenwich studying Business with Finance, but also worked as a paid JobShop student for the Sustainability team as a projects assistant.
I have learnt a huge amount, not only about sustainability but also on how a business functions day to day. I have gained skills in communication, being a part of and leading on meetings. The biggest lesson I have learnt through the job however is, how important sustainability is for all our futures, no matter what we do. It has confirmed my goals to want to work in sustainability in my future job and it has highlighted to me how important it is to have sustainability as a priority in everyone’s personal and working lives. Check out my piece on the Student Pad website – the site for private renting but also improving sustainability.”
