Que disent les gens à propos de Lancement de carrière?
Nos stagiaires et nos employeurs partagent leur expérience de première main.
Ce stage m’a permis de combler le fossé entre mon expérience universitaire et le monde plus technique de la conservation de l’environnement. J’ai eu là une excellente occasion d’appliquer la théorie et les compétences acquises dans le cadre de mes études à des questions plus pratiques.
