Purpose: One of the most important challenges of civilization in the contemporary world is obtaining the goals of sustainable development. This challenge is addressed to present and future generations who have to possess or acquire various sustainable development competencies. Shaping them is particularly essential in the case of generation Z, thus it should take place both in the process of academic education, as well as in cooperation with university stakeholders. The aim of the paper is to answer the question of whether the implementation of students’ internships enables shaping sustainable development competencies. Design/methodology/approach: The survey was conducted in Poland in 2022 among 367 full-time students in the management field of study. The CAWI method was used. The paper presents a quantitative analysis of the obtained data. In the theoretical part of the article, the author explained the essence and goals of sustainable development, described sustainable development competencies, and the role of higher education and stakeholders in shaping the SD competencies of Generation Z. Findings: Generation Z has a positive attitude towards the implementation of the concept of sustainable development and almost all of the studied sustainable development goals are of great importance to the respondents. The obtained results confirmed that the implementation of internships in a real work environment affects the shape of many SD competencies of students. The greatest opportunities for the development of SD competencies were provided to interns by business organisations and administration, while less importance was assigned to such stakeholders as NGOs. Students expect the cooperation of the university and its stakeholders in shaping their SD competencies. Research limitations/implications: The size of the surveyed group does not allow for the formulation of general conclusions. However, the obtained results may be the basis for further in-depth studies on the problem. Similar research could be conducted to establish the opinion of employers and university representatives with a broader consideration of other variables. Practical implications: The conclusions of the study will provide universities and various stakeholders with valuable information on the possibility of using student internships to develop SD competencies of representatives of Generation Z. Originality/value: The obtained results allow one to fill the research gap concerning the assessment of whether the realization of student internships in a real work environment enables shaping students' competencies in the field of sustainable development.
