"It allowed me to improve my reading skills and become more aware of a huge fishing industry, it made me realise how difficult these reports are and how much I dont know about ESG factors and not enough knowledge on risk factors. I am improving day by day thats what matters from these free virtual internships, thank you for educating me."-- Student from Brunel University Uxbridge
