DEADLINE TODAY!
Would you like to inspire people within your local community to make a change, secure a summer internship and win the trip of a lifetime?
Opportunity details…
We’re offering 14 people – a mixture of RWE npower employees and university students – the opportunity to support a community project, deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. You could be joining the Kaxinawá tribe in the Amazon jungle, experiencing first-hand some of the most rural people on the planet and their relationship with the environment, resources and nature around them.
So, what’s the challenge?
In a team of up to 4 students, RWE npower asks you to identify a project that will get people in your community living more sustainably. You will have to manage the project from beginning to end to ensure that it has both a positive and long lasting impact on your community. RWE npower will select a shortlist with the best project ideas and the chosen teams will be asked to put their project ideas into practice, attend an interactive, teambuilding weekend in Malvern in June 2014, then produce a DVD showing their idea in action before the grand final in November. Here, a panel of judges will announce the winning teams who will receive the coveted prize: a once in a lifetime trip to work with a tribe in the Amazon!
What you’ll gain…
This is your opportunity to show you can work with a leading company on implementing a project over a sustained period of time. By taking part in the Challenge you will have the opportunity to work with representatives from RWE npower over several months, showcasing your team working and leadership skills whilst working towards the chance of winning a truly rewarding prize. Basically, you’ll build similar skills as you would during an internship but in a different way. In fact, we are so confident you will develop valuable skills from running your own project, preparing for the competition, completing the teambuilding weekend and actually going on the trip, that we guarantee to offer a summer placement for each member of the winning teams. If you’re ready to put yourself to the test, then the RWE npower Future Leaders Challenge is ready for your application!
