The Phoenix Zoo is excited to host its Teen Career Conference in-person once again! This event is geared towards teens, grades 9-12, and their educational support networks (parents, educators, career/college counselors, etc.) who are interested in exploring different careers in the world of animal science. Attendees will experience what it is like to attend a professional conference and engage in a variety of activities, including:

• Hearing from specially selected speaker panels comprised of a range of experts in zoology, conservation, animal husbandry, and veterinary care working both within the Zoo and in the field. Speakers will offer insights into their career paths and provide advice on breaking into their respective fields.
• Networking with representatives from the Phoenix Zoo and other scientific and educational institutions from around the Valley to learn about their programs and opportunities for teens.
• Attending a professional skill-building workshop led by the Phoenix Zoo’s Human Resources team on how to write resumes and cover letters, and how to successfully interview for the job of your dreams.
