Are you looking for a greener career path? Have you ever wondered how you can get the right skills to land a green job, while making a positive contribution to the planet? If the answer is yes, we have an exciting opportunity for you!

Who are we?
Easysustainability is an NGO that acts as a bridge between people and the green job market, fostering the creation of an economic system where people will get an income (and not just volunteer) to solve environmental problems (implicitly also social ones).

We are always on the lookout for people that are passionate about ESG topics and want either help in landing a job in that field or to contribute to our cause directly by providing help to those in need of green upskilling. Thanks to our dedicated team, partners and tools, you will be able to develop deep sustainability expertise, industry connections, references from experienced professionals and much more through non-formal educational methods!

Your ONLY responsibilities
➡️ A genuine interest in environmental sustainability and a strong desire to contribute to systemic change
➡️ Becoming an official member of our NGO: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScL9xpYUhYvGnJWE3nk0_T4sPATYFnovDsLmBlxSAst862AMw/viewform

The green upskilling services Easysustainability offers for free to its associates:
✅ Premium website
✅ Soft and hard skills development through practical activities
✅ Coaching and networking with mentors
✅ Courses, learning resources, certificates and more

Join and be part of a dedicated team working tirelessly to help solve global challenges our planet faces such as climate change and pollution. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the environment and create a more sustainable and resilient world. We empower you to choose the most suitable project for you (it's also possible to propose your own if you desire!). Some examples of the projects we have been carrying out so far are: a pilot project on biodiversity of forestry in Tuscany (using remote sensing and GIS), pro bono consulting for startups, green job shadowing, anti-food waste Erasmus+ in Poland, Armenia and many more.

Our headquarter is in Livorno, Italy. However, our community is globally remote and occasionally takes part in physical events in Europe and some neighbouring countries. We welcome applicants from all over the world (so anyone can apply from any location if the project is fully remote) but keep in mind that our schedules are primarily based on the CET time zone.

To apply, please submit your resume or directly register for free to our website easysustainabilityngo.org.

We look forward to welcoming you to our passionate community of corporate activists!

We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment. We welcome and embrace individuals from all backgrounds and experiences.

Join us and contribute to a diverse and vibrant team!
