"The WLT internship is a unique opportunity to break the classic cycle for people who have completed their academic studies and perhaps undertaken work in the field, but have little experience of working in an office environment or understanding how a conservation charity works from the inside, both of which I feel are important for gaining employment in this sector. The internship offers the chance to learn and gain experience in the varying aspects of the Trust as well as the projects of our overseas partners. Whilst using your own skills and knowledge you also have the freedom to delve deeper into areas of particular interest. I would recommend it for anyone wanting a career in conservation."
