Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Each day consisted of various talks from professionals and tasks to engage all the students. We received plenty of time for discussion and breaks.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was great to learnt about how the sight is run and what job roles are available. The role 'Ranger' is very broad and has many depths to it.
