Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between an internship and consultant program?

Our student internship program is a passive program where interns shadow team members to learn about social and environmental responsibility, startup activities and sustainable finance. The program is non-paid, and we make no promise of future employment with WeNetwork or its affiliates. The decentralized ESG consultant program is designed to train you to become an advisor to organizations seeking to expand their social and environmental and governance protocols through stakeholder and public engagement. Tasks include working with enterprises, startups, SMEs, and prospective clients, to help build their dESG networks, engage in social and environmental activities such as contests and collaborations, and other promotional activities.

Participants will have the opportunity during the training period to acquire responsive consulting clients at various levels, including enterprises, SMEs, and startups, and educational organizations. While we cannot guarantee any level of client participation, our goal is to have participants to build a client base by the time they complete the certification requirements. WeNetwork has relationships with other platforms to help facilitate client acquisition for consultants especially in the area of sustainable startup businesses.

A core benefit of our programs is flexibility. You can work as you go with any of our programs. Participants can also discontinue and rejoin the program as their other commitments require. During the normal process participants are typically encouraged to attend a minimum of two meetings per week with other consultant trainees.

We can’t guarantee any specific rate; however, we believe that our consultants play a valuable role in accelerating responsible growth at our clients’ companies. In general we would expect new consultants to bill $25-$50 per hour, while more experienced consultants have the potential to earn $100-$200 per hour. Factors determining pay levels will include consultants' demonstrable contributions to clients’ growth, profitability, network building, and activities within the network.

The consultant program is not an internship but a certification and trainee program. It is designed to train participants to become dESG-certified consultants capable of advising organizations on integrating decentralized ESG protocols. While internships focus on shadowing and learning, the consultant program emphasizes skill-building, certification, and establishing a client base.

dESG, or decentralized ESG, takes a next-generation approach to sustainability by emphasizing stakeholder collaboration, crowdsourced innovation, and network-driven growth. Unlike traditional ESG, which can sometimes be limited by centralized processes and external constraints such as AI, political, and economic factors, dESG promotes a more agile and inclusive framework for implementing environmental, social, and governance protocols.

dESG is a new and experimental approach to ESG and sustainability. Traditional ESG can be limited by factors such as AI, political, and economic activities. However, we believe that dESG is the future of ESG and could provide high-paying jobs for consultants who add value to their clients' networks.

Participants gain practical experience in ESG strategies, certification in dESG consultancy, and opportunities to build a client base with enterprises, startups, and SMEs. They develop skills in social-value marketing, stakeholder engagement, and collaborative decision-making while forming lifelong professional connections with businesses and peers.

The consultant program focuses on training participants in decentralized ESG practices, client acquisition, and stakeholder engagement, while the sustainable finance program emphasizes green and impact investment strategies. Both require a minimum of 5 hours per week, but the consultant program centers on skill-building, whereas the sustainable finance program involves more finance-driven tasks and strategy.
