Key takeaways

Here are what youths learnt during the session: 

1. Wildlife Management: It is a role that includes significant communication challenges, especially when enforcement actions cannot be taken, but it also offers satisfaction in successfully managing wildlife populations to mitigate issues like disease spread.


2. Self-Published Authorship: Some key skills include the ability to convey messages clearly and invoke emotions within readers, rather than perfect command of language. There is a multi-step process to self-publishing that includes drafting, editing, obtaining an ISBN, and distribution.

3. Data Officer and Other Roles: Flexible working hours can be a perk of certain jobs, and skills such as analysing historical trends can be transferable to understanding data. Enjoying variety in tasks and the lack of physical labour are also highlighted as positive aspects of these professions.
