Work Placement Week

Our annual Work Placement Week will take place from September 28th – October 2nd 2026.

Our annual Work Placement Week is a chance to find out what it’s like to work at Changeworks.

We believe it’s critical that young people can access work opportunities to support Scotland’s ambitious sustainability targets.

Young people in Scotland are driving the policy and campaigning agenda on the climate, and we want to get you involved in delivering the green economy and a low-carbon society.

As part of Work Placement Week, we’ll provide you with the opportunity to understand how our organisation operates, what it’s like to work in this sector and show you the range of services we provide and projects we deliver.

Work Placement Week is a hybrid experience, with a minimum of three mandatory in-person days at our Edinburgh office and two days at home. Reimbursements will be made for reasonable travel costs to the office, and a free lunch will be provided on office days.
