Green Your Future with NP’s new Minor in Sustainability
NP's Personalised Learning Pathway programme allows you to pop your green collar in the industry of your choice, as you graduate with a Minor in Sustainability on top of your diploma.
Why a Minor in Sustainability?
Growing Demand for Green Talent
As industries make the transition to become more sustainable in their practices, more careers are turning green. By 2030, the green economy
could create 24 million new jobs! Green jobs are present in all sectors.
Relevance to Every Diploma
You don’t need to be an environmentalist to create a better world! Whether your diploma is in Business, Engineering or any other discipline — NP’s Minor in Sustainability opens doors to more career options within your chosen field.
Be Part of the Green Generation
It’s no secret that the world as we know it is changing drastically, no thanks to climate change. As next-gen global citizens, you will need a good grasp of what a sustainable world means and be part of the movement to save Planet Earth with your skills and knowledge, and by the way you live, work and play in the future.
Value to Business & Community
Learn how to add value to businesses and communities through creative sustainable solutions for both social good and profit. Sustainability doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game. So, businesses can be financially motivated to invest in sustainable practices.
