At TheRockGroup we develop sustainability strategies for businesses, but we also take on an advisory and co-entrepreneur role for young start-ups to help them grow. We also love engaging students, (young) professionals and board members, teaching them about sustainable business and training them in the skills needed to make a difference in different types of organization
Based on our ongoing business and projects, your internship will mainly consist of supporting colleagues with different projects across our different business lines.
