Students look to high school teachers and counselors for advice regarding career opportunities that match their interests. By providing educators with information about the experiences in professions with conservation agencies, they will be better prepared to advise students about these opportunities, including students who have an interest in careers other than the traditional biologist role. This proposal is in alignment with the Secretary of the Interiors vision to inspire the next generation of conservation professionals.
