Worcestershire Wildlife Trust has a long history of providing placements for trainees. Our alumni are scattered across the UK as well as overseas, from marine ambassadors to our own Head of Conservation and A Network for Nature Project Officer.
In 2019 we changed how the traineeships are run; we now offer five part-time voluntary placements each year for people to learn the conservation ropes. School leavers, graduates and career changers have the chance to learn on-the-job as well as through numerous training courses.
In our latest episode we hear from Owen, Lizzy, Sophie and Sam, four of this year's trainees, as well as 2020's 'graduate' Amy to discover more about the traineeship and the positive outcomes it can have.
