Very Informative

I had fun learning about the different water conservation efforts taking place around the world and learning together with my fellow cohorts on how to tackle such issues surrounding them. This experience has given me the courage I lacked previously to apply to various positions in the professional world, and now I feel more confident and relaxed knowing I'll always have this to carry me through as I search for a job. Thank you Paragon One, I'll always be forever grateful for the opportunity.

An unmissable, one of a kind opportunity!

I absolutely loved the way the training modules were structured and the additional resources that were given to us. It was a really well structured program and I can say that I learnt a lot from it. It also made me realise that I am passionate about conservation and research. Moreover, I loved the meetings and I would rather look forward to them. I was very glad to have been selected as one of the final presenters also! The feedback from the NGS and TNC mentors was spot on and their passion and assistance made me want to give me best to the externship. Overall, I loved the structure of the entire externship and there is nothing I would change. If I had the chance, I would totally do this again! I have also told so many fellow classmates about this and I believe it is a really good opportunity for everyone!
