Students will improve their understanding of what career opportunities there are involving animals. They will learn the requirements of each job, what they can expect to experience from each job, why that job is important, and what aspects of each job fit well with specific individuals. We will discuss the following animal-focused career paths: Government wildlife work, zookeeping, animal education, pet and domestic animal Care, veterinary work, conservation, and animal training.

I have a deep understanding and lots of experience in many fields of animal care so I want students to feel encouraged to explore these opportunities as well.
