Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
From around 9am to 3pm each day we had a series of guest speakers as well as our hosts join us to talk about their experiences and their job roles as well as how to begin a career in the field from a graduate or undergraduate level.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
There are a great deal more careers involved in conservation that I was not aware of, which has shown me that there are opportunities to create my own business, collaborate with educators, managers or work directly in hands on conservation.

We worked in teams to create a concept for a community project to get the general public interested in local conservation issues which was new for me to plan something from concept, management, advertisement, funding and engagement.
