2. Apply online

Please follow this Online Application link to begin your online application. You might want to use a laptop instead of your phone and please relax, take your time, and be yourself. The application has 10 short answer questions and takes most people an hour to finish. Please complete the app by yourself with no outside assistance (unless you are not great with written words and need someone to help you articulate your thoughts). The app won't time out so take all the time you need.

PLEASE NOTE: The paid apprenticeship is open January 1-17, 2026, and we're only accepting fish and reptile apprenticeships at this time. If you miss that window, your app will remain in the queue until more spots are available. Next opening will likely be August, 2026.

F.A.Q. How do I get the job?
All new hires do a short, paid internship for the end of their interview process, and then begin as part time, paid apprentices. We only offer employment to apprentices, regardless of previous experience, so completing this Applicant > to > Paid Intern > to > Apprentice process is how you get officially hired.
