Allowing college students to adapt and use their classroom knowledge in a zoo setting, our internship program offers exciting opportunities for our interns to grow intellectually. We are committed to teaching and guiding our interns by advancing their skills and giving them valuable first hand experience. Summer internships last from May to August and some internships are available year-round. Our summer internship process begins in January, when we begin to accept applications. The deadline for submitting your resume and cover letter for summer internships is March 9, 2001.
Interns work on creative projects, such as inventory and database implementation.
Hands-on training is provided on both hardware and software issues. Computer interns must be seeking a degree in information systems or a related field. The office assistant internship entails computer knowledge and the ability to perform general office duties. The research assistant internship requires a research proposal which follows the Denver Zoo's proposal guidelines in our Conservation and Research Policies. These internships are overseen by departmental staff and allow the students the opportunity to conduct research at the zoo or in the field.
