The En­vi­ron­men­tal Man­age­ment Au­thor­i­ty (EMA) has com­plet­ed its 2025 Va­ca­tion In­tern­ship Pro­gramme, which ran from June to Au­gust and en­gaged 13 uni­ver­si­ty stu­dents.

The three-month ini­tia­tive ex­posed par­tic­i­pants to prac­ti­cal ex­pe­ri­ence across sev­er­al EMA de­part­ments, in­clud­ing fi­nance, pro­cure­ment, qual­i­ty man­age­ment, health, safe­ty and en­vi­ron­ment, per­mit­ting, projects, in­for­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy, eco­nom­ics, cor­po­rate com­mu­ni­ca­tions and le­gal ser­vices. The EMA stat­ed that the pro­gramme pro­vid­ed stu­dents with op­por­tu­ni­ties to ex­pand their knowl­edge and build work­place skills un­der the guid­ance of EMA staff.

The in­tern­ship con­clud­ed with a “Lunch and Learn” ses­sion on 13 Au­gust at the EMA’s North Of­fice, 8 Eliz­a­beth Street, St. Clair. Dur­ing the ses­sion, stu­dents pre­sent­ed on their ex­pe­ri­ences, lessons learnt and the im­pact of the in­tern­ship on their aca­d­e­m­ic and ca­reer de­vel­op­ment.
