Centre for Sustainability ,Sustainability Researcher Jobs in Canada

The Centre for Sustainability is a non-profit organization working on
sustainable development in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines. We are
operating as social entrepreneurs and focus on contributing to the creation of
a sustainable future for Palawan through the execution of projects that are
practical, environmentally friendly and long lasting. With our style of
developing and implementing sustainable projects, we aim to serve as a
blueprint for sustainable development in other areas of the Philippines.

The Internship

Through the student program, the Centre for Sustainability gives students from
around the globe the opportunity to develop their skills, knowledge, and
enthusiasm regarding sustainable development in their field of science. While
working hard on their thesis or internship they are contributing to the
creation of a sustainable future for Palawan. We achieve this by providing the
students with the means for a thesis, internship or a voluntary position in one
of the projects of our organization or other local organizations and government
agencies.

We started this program to form a bridge between the theoretical knowledge of
science in the western world with the vast traditional and cultural knowhow of
the Filipino culture. Students work in paired teams, a local student, and an
international student, thereby maximizing the transfer of knowledge and
increasing the potential success of the joint project.
