Are you interested in having an exciting career working with animals? Join Minnesota Zoo professionals in these exciting seminars to learn about science careers and receive practical advice on how to prepare for the future.
Career seminars are designed for ages 12 through adults. Zoo staff will recommend college programs, discuss how volunteering, interning and related-work experience can give them an edge over others and explain what they do in their day-to-day activities.
Careers to be covered include veterinary medicine, zookeeping, education, aquarium management, dolphin training and animal handling. Participants can attend just one or each seminar. It is recommended that you attend as many as possible.
