Tundra North Tours Sustainability Planning

The project being undertaken by the intern will be to develop a sustainability strategy/plan in the form of a report for the host organization’s Okpik Arctic Village. This report will be developed by the intern as they gain important and relevant information though consultations with related stakeholders, conducting environmental impact assessments (based on fuel consumption, water consumption, food consumption, and waste production), and observe all the activities that are undertaken at the village. This will benefit the intern as it will allow them to apply their learned knowledge from their recent education to a real world business. It will also provide the intern the ability to develop real world skills desired by employers. This opportunity will also benefit the host organization by subsidizing the fees associated with an intern that has a thorough understanding of sustainability and is able to utilize their education for the benefit of the business.
