It takes lots of people with many different skills to run a zoo. Everyone knows that the Zoo has animal keepers and
veterinarians but there are MANY MORE jobs that you probably didn’t think
of. Are you good at math and want to be an accountant? We
have those! Are you the creative type considering becoming a graphic
designer? We have those too! This is a special opportunity for
elementary, middle, and high school students to learn about career
opportunities within a Zoo. Students will meet with a variety of
Zoo professionals to learn about their careers and receive practical advice on
how to prepare for the future. Zoo staff will recommend college programs,
discuss how volunteering, interning, and related work experience can give you
an edge over other students and explain what they do in their day-to-day job
duties. The more you know about what positions exist, the easier it will
be for you to plan your course of study and land that dream job!
