Environmental placement programme

The overall aim of the Environmental Placement Programme is to improve environmental practice within Scottish Businesses and is run primarily by the Green Business Partnership. The Programme offers work experience opportunities for students by linking them with host companies to undertake environmental projects to help companies realise cost savings associated with improved environmental management.

Rubberatkins took the opportunity to join the programme this year and 3rd year Chemical Engineering student at Aberdeen University, Jennifer Brown joined us for an 8 week placement in early July. Jennifer’s project encompassed a number of areas all linked to Environmental Practices and more specifically in energy reduction. The research Jennifer undertook has provided us with a great deal of invaluable information which we are currently evaluating. We are hoping to develop plans to implement as many of these initiatives as possible. Watch this space for further information.
