NGO Project Coordinator
RealStep offers you a unique sustainability training in Fiji, at our partner organization. Contribute to the conservation of the marine life of the islands alongside specialists and experts. You will have the opportunity to acquire theoretical and practical training in a heavenly setting, between treatments and diving sessions in the waters of the region.
This sustainable development training offers the opportunity to acquire many skills as well as different certifications. The PADI qualification, for example, is included in this marine conservation project in Fiji. Discover the marine ecosystem of the archipelago, and develop in-depth knowledge in its conservation by collecting data for studies on coral reefs or different species of fish.
Like all of our training courses for working in the environment abroad , this project in Fiji allows you to benefit from complete learning while contributing to the preservation of the region’s ecosystems.
Attention : during the training, many diving sessions are planned. Participants must undergo on-site PADI training to carry out the project, or else be certified.
This training program in sustainable development is part of the so-called “career” projects. In addition to the mission that you carry out on site, it allows you to benefit from real support, and to access the position of project coordinator in 6 months. Here you combine theoretical training with practical learning, with online modules to be completed after the end of the mission. At the end of the program, you obtain an international certification recognized and issued by the University of Richmond, in the United States.
The accompaniment is therefore present upstream, on site but also downstream of the project. During the course of the mission, you will also have a remote project to carry out: you will have to solve a problem with other partner organizations in marine conservation, environment, animal protection… A coach will follow you and support you to help you better in solving these problems, and at the end of the project you will have access to a platform of job offers in NGOs, following the professional training you will have received.

There is no shortage of reefs around the island, offering a particularly rich subject of study to the host structure and to the various participants who will be able to observe in depth a unique marine biodiversity, within the framework of this training on the development sustainability in Fiji.
