Our Dedication to Making a Difference
Emirates Park Zoo and Resort is dedicated to making a positive difference in the world, and our involvement with the International Zoo Educators Association and the Job Experience Program is a testament to our commitment to education, conservation, and global cooperation.
Hosting the Job Experience Program 2024-2025
In 2024-2025, EPZR is honored to be one of the zoos hosting the Job Experience Program (JEP) organized by the IZEA. This program will take place over three time periods:
- 4 November 2024 to 17 November 2024
- 2 December 2024 to 15 December 2024
- 6 January 2025 to 19 January 2025
The primary reason for EPZR to be a host is to promote global conservation education and awareness. By providing hands-on experience and training to participants, the zoo fosters the development of future conservation leaders, supports ongoing research, and enhances community engagement. This program strengthens the zoo’s reputation as a leader in conservation efforts, encourages the exchange of innovative ideas, and extends its educational impact to a broader audience, thereby contributing significantly to wildlife conservation and sustainable practices.
