Neil Dougherty chose not to return to college his senior year. No doubt a difficult decision for him and his family, Dougherty took a semester off and immersed himself in wildlife management, a decision that led to a career as one of the nation’s leading wildlife habitat experts. QDMA, the Quality Deer Management Association, is searching for interns to assist with their operations over the summer. Although you don’t get paid, you certainly can dip your toes into the exciting waters of the whitetail world, and many internships lead to successful careers down the road. Here’s the information, straight from QDMA.
The QDMA is offering a six-month internship that will run from July 1 to December 31, 2016. The intern will work with the Education and Outreach Department on research, education, advocacy and certification program issues. The selected individual will assist the Education and Outreach Department on identifying research funding opportunities, developing educational materials, engaging in legislative efforts, and helping with QDMA’s certification programs. Important items to note about the internship include:
This is an unpaid internship, but QDMA will cooperate with universities/colleges that offer credit for intern programs. The intern must make all arrangements for receiving academic credit.
The intern will work from home and provide 5-10 hours of work per week during the internship period.
QDMA will provide the intern with an experience opportunity in the wildlife field, a QDMA email account and educational opportunities.
To apply for the internship, please send a cover letter, one-page resume, and unofficial college transcript (if applicable) to Kip Adams, kadams@qdma.com, Director of Education and Outreach by June 23.
