Green Global Solutions has taken steps to secure its future with an investment in two scholarships of four years through the University of NSW’s 2015 Co-op Program due to the immense value Green Global Solutions CEO & Founder, Bob Sharon places on supporting bright students in reaching their full potential.
“Almost anything can be achieved with the innovation and collaboration of the world’s most talented students combined with support from business wishing to improve the way we live, work and learn.”
In response to industry demand, the UNSW Co-op Program offers up to 100 industry-sponsored scholarships a year providing students with financial aid, the opportunity to apply their university learning to practical on the job applications, and gain valuable work experience that may prove instrumental when entering the full-time job market.
“While students are not bonded to their industry sponsors, more than 80 per cent go on to work for them,” says Kaye Carey, Co-op manager for UNSW. Research has also found that 90 per cent of graduates completing a co-op program found work-related employment within one month of beginning their job search, compared to 19 per cent of graduates who didn’t undertake a co-op.
The $34,000 per annum (4 years) commitment by Green Global will be worth every penny. Sharon enjoys the mentoring side of working with young talent to build strong relationships which he hopes will lead to ongoing employment with Green Global Solutions after completion of the Co-op Program.
Green Global is a unique infrastructure and energy services company with a focus on sustainability. They aspire to provide clients with exceptional outcomes to infrastructure projects by integrating innovative solutions in the area of technology, procurement and finance whilst engaging the most talented people and ensuring positive environmental impact.
In seeking the most talented people, Green Global will offer the scholarships to one photovoltaics student and another of renewable energy. Green Global is a new breed of organisation which aspires to break down traditional boundaries and methods. The team is driven and passionate about delivering exceptional infrastructure outcomes.
“We are looking for students with a strong commitment to excellence and the customer, as well as a drive to seek innovative outcomes.” Sharon said. Green Global are soon to open in both Singapore and China, where Sharon will replicate the Co-op program model, creating education hubs he calls Centres of Excellent. “By taking on the smartest students with the right attitudes, the sky is the limit to achieving a sustainable future.
