    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

    • A typical day of the online placement involved several talks from people who worked in conservation. We also were placed in break out rooms where we could vocalise our opinion.

    • I really loved listening to how different people got into conservation. From working with kids to being a scientist there’s so many different career paths you can take. I also liked at the end we got set a project and the project winner will have their ideas hopefully turned into a reality!

  • 7. Would you recommend BCP Council to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 8. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BCP Council

    • One speaker told me that females were less likely to apply for roles if they don’t exactly fit the criteria. So my advice to anyone applying is go for it! You never know if you don’t try. Also Brian the head said he gives feed back for rejected applications which is very useful to see where you went wrong.
