BASQUE GREEN TALENT

This programme responds to the growing need for environmental information required by companies and offers opportunities both for new generations and for businesses in the Basque Country. The objective of these internships is threefold: to help Basque companies face the challenges of climate neutrality through circular economy projects; to provide circular economy training to young people who do not have access to formal education in this field; and to meet the increasing market demand for professionals trained in circular economy.

What does Basque Green Talent offer?

• Pre‑training in green skills: Ihobe provides initial specialised training for the person who will join the company as an intern.
• Personalised support and tutoring: Throughout the programme, the participant will receive continuous support from an expert who will guide their learning and development.
• Collaboration in business projects: The company will have, for six months, an intern who has completed their studies and can contribute to various organisational projects, always with expert tutoring provided by Ihobe.

Profiles of young participants in the programme

The programme is aimed at young people between 18 and 29 years old who have no work experience in related jobs. It is primarily focused on young people with higher vocational training or university degrees in Biology, Geology, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Business Administration, Law, Environmental Sciences, or related fields.
