Internships
AAP has plenty of opportunities for interns; we can offer internships at the various animal care departments or the behavior department.
Before we discuss the possibility of an internship at AAP, it is important that you meet a number of basic conditions:
- You are at least 18 years old.
- For animal care internships you are available for a minimum of 4 weeks (20 full workdays).
- For an internship in the behavior department the minimal availability is 6 months.
- You are prepared to keep to our strict hands-off policy. This means that there will be no direct contact with the animals at all.
- Because of the international character of AAP the main spoken language is English. You need to speak and understand English to qualify for an internship.
- You are able to perform heavy labor (Animal care internship).
- You live in one of the EU-countries.
It is not necessary to have specific experience before being able to work at AAP. We only ask for a good doses of motivation, continuity and to do your best!
AAP is not a scientific research institute, but does perform observational research for the benefit of improving the wellbeing of our rescued animals.
