"I took part in an industrial placement scheme, which included a work experience placement with Lockhart Garratt Ltd. I was based in their office in Hampshire, working alongside their experienced team of professionals and learning the ropes of the business.聽

The placement gave me a great insight into the workings of a leading environmental consultancy, and I was聽able to apply the knowledge and skills I had learnt in my courses to real life scenarios. It also enabled me to develop my communication skills, as I was required to liaise with both internal and external stakeholders on a regular basis. I was able to develop my understanding of the forestry industry and the importance of sustainable management and conservation.聽I was given the opportunity to take part in project meetings and helped to draft reports for clients. 聽

Overall, my placement year was a great success. I learnt a great deal and was able to develop my skills and knowledge in a professional environment. I now feel better equipped to tackle the challenges of the forestry industry and pursue a successful career in the sector."
