Sea Life Park Hawaii Internship

Deadline: March 19, 2010

Description of Program

Sea Life Park Hawaii offers several types of non-paid internships including: Marine Mammals Care & Training, Reef & Sea Turtle Care & Training, Seabird Care & Rehabilitation, Veterinary Technician, and Educator Experiences. Many interns receive course credit for their internships. We will be happy to work with your college/university to develop a program tied to your academic goals.

Our internships are ideal for students who love marine mammals and want hands–on experience working with them and protecting them. Internships may also involve research projects within an assigned group. Those working within the marine mammals and our reef/sea turtle departments will also have the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of animal training through a unique phase training program. This allows individuals to familiarize themselves with the training techniques and terminology used at Sea Life Park Hawaii. All of our animal related internships require our interns to participate in food preparation for the animals of the park, so applicants must be comfortable working with frozen fish.
