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.

Department of Environment, Energy & Climate Change
Climate Sense Intern Catherine Kennedy partnered with the Department of Environment, Energy, and Climate Action, conducting Coastal Hazard Assessments: looking at provincially-owned critical infrastructure and determined if they fall in a coastal hazard assessment zone, and create reports that outline the average and max rates of erosion and the percentage of the property that falls in a minimal to high flood hazard zone.
