Adaptation Resilience Training
About
The Adaptation Resilience Training (ART) program helps Alberta prepare for climate change impacts by placing students and recent graduates with organizations to work on climate adaptation initiatives. Explore our completed internships to see the diverse areas impacted by our hosts and project assistants (PAs).
Coordinated by the Sustainability Council and funded by Alberta Environment and Protected Areas (AEPA), the ART program covers PA wages for 8-month full-time, paid projects proposed by host organizations. PAs work directly with hosts but are employed by the University of Alberta Sustainability Council.
