PROFESSIONAL
Internship Program
The ClimateSense Professional Internship Program is designed to build adaptation capacity in recent post-secondary students, as well as host organizations within the public and private sectors.
A number of Island organizations were selected to host a recent post-secondary graduate for a six (6) to twelve (12) month internship for 2021. During this time, our interns worked with mentors within the host organization to complete a sector-specific adaptation project, and also took part in ClimateSense Training and Development Programs.

Abegweit First Nation
ClimateSense intern Craig Knockwood's project goal was to design and initiate an asset inventory, risk assessment, and adaptation strategy for the First Nation, which considered the expected effects of climate change. This included addressing ongoing home flooding issues due to heavy rain events, as well as working towards bringing electric vehicle charging stations to the community.
