Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Every day we logged onto a zoom call and heard from up to 4 speakers. Going through topics from engagement to practical conservation to careers advice. We also partook in workshops with other interns.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Due to the placement being online there was less of this that could be offered. We were given the opportunity to take initiative over our own careers path.
