Description: Interested in working at a zoo or another career with animal wildlife? Depending on the career, you may need skills that include fundraising, art or graphic design, marketing & communications, architecture and construction, animal collection management, education, and wildlife conservation as well as animal care. Join us to explore the many careers available at zoos and other animal-focused organizations. Meet the people responsible for running the zoo, including members of the animal care team, and perform some of their daily responsibilities and chores. We will meet the veterinarian staff & zookeepers, clean an exhibit, create animal diets, conduct DNA extraction, learn how genetics plays a role captive breeding, and explore wildlife conservation projects funded by the Zoo Boise community
Cost per student per class is $190 for zoo members and $215 for nonmembers. Click HERE to register now.
