The New Permaculture Research Institute 10-Week Internship Program

At Zaytuna Farm here in NSW, Australia, we have been running a few variations of internships over the years, mostly on a very casual basis. The interest and enquiries continue to grow – especially focused on the need to gain experience as quickly as possible so that students, after taking the Permaculture Design Certificate course, can move into a professional permaculture career in design, consultancy and teaching in both international consultancy and project work. To this end, we’ve now created a higher quality curriculum-based internship program that covers a wide range of permaculture subjects, that are studied in depth over 10 weeks.

The new internship program is run three times per year, each beginning just after the first three PDCs end. The base requirement is that interns have taken a recognized PDC somewhere in the world. If a prospective intern has not completed a PDC, they can simply take one with us, then continue on with the ten-week internship after that is complete.

Look for the internship indicator in our course listings to see more details.

  1. Hallo from Iceland

    Im looking for internships or workshops in oermaculture that would host my family also, I feel it would not be permaculture if I were to leave them at home and I want to take them on this journey with me. Is there any options you might know about out there?
    Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this!

    Have a nice day!

    Louis
