Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The work experience comprised of week-long virtual talks through Zoom. Each day there were around 4-5 speakers, all giving a presentation or a talk on their specific field of work within conservation. Talks included animal grazing management, setting up your own business, storytelling, education and much more.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was good to see how much the Conservation field can branch off, and to be able to speak to people within those different areas were great. Was enjoyable to hear their own personal journeys and making contacts.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
It was fantastic because it really gave me in an insight into all the various fields of work I could go into, which I had no idea about before. Focus- especially with the nature of placements and work all going online.
