Become a Trainee - REGISTRATIONS OPEN!

Become an SDG Trainee

During the SDG Traineeship, young people are given the opportunity to develop themselves as true SDG Professionals and to make a concrete contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in the public and private sectors.

SDG Trainees work 1 day a week in a team on a project for 15 weeks to make an impact in a field within the SDGs. The SDG-related project that they work on will be designed by the clients themselves.

Naturally, trainees receive the right tools, knowledge, and guidance from us to call themselves true SDG Professionals. SDG Trainees become part of the solution and develop skills and knowledge to ensure that they know how to make an impact as future professionals.
