Placement Opportunities

Riverview Park and Zoo has helped hundreds of students complete their education through on-the-job placements and work experience.

Education placement opportunities

We are proud to have supporting local institutions and students with hands-on experience animal care, education, grounds keeping, business development and administration.

Placements and high school co-op opportunities are available annually and we receive several requests each semester. We aim to provide valuable, rewarding and memorable experiences to students who work at Riverview Park and Zoo. Some have come to work as summer students at the Park and Zoo and a few are now full-time staff.

There are a limited number of placement opportunities each year so please apply early.

For teachers and professors who are hoping to link their students with valuable work experience, please feel free to connect with us directly. We do have limited resources and would like to find partnerships that are valuable to all involved.
