I've been researching opportunities to gain experience in new areas in order to qualify for a wider range of jobs. A common theme is the "pay for experience" "careerships" and internships and receive training and some form of certification. One example is coral reef survey work and SCUBA certification with stays of at least 4 to 8 weeks and PADI Advanced Open Water or Dive Master certification. There are a plethora of these on Koh Sdach Island adjacent to Cambodia's Botum Sakor National Park that seem to be mostly British non-profits and private companies.
I'd appreciate information and advice about these kinds of programs in general as well as those on Koh Sdach and other reef areas in particular. Thanks, John
