Overview
Virtual talks given via Zoom about topics including employment in conservation, education and public engagement as well theory behind conservation and global conservation efforts. Completed a project to encourage more young people to enjoy Nature and treat it with respect.
Skills
Developed presentation skills and learned a lot more about employability when being an undergrad or upon graduation.
Business Insight
Interesting and I now realise that there are multiple roles involved with conservation, it is not just fieldwork. Insightful to learn this and to be able to take a second look at my career choices.
Culture
The general atmosphere was warm and welcoming, even online. The culture of the company is very animal orientated but excellent interpersonal relations within the company were obvious, encouraging others to join the working environment.
