J.I.V.E will also provide attendees with additional skill-building workshops focused on resume building, interview tips, and careers in conservation.

16-26 year olds will have the opportunity to meet hiring managers and learn about the many jobs, internships, and volunteer opportunities available at the WCS zoos and aquarium.
