People from all ages and parts of the country visited The College of Animal Welfare in Godmanchester on Saturday, for its annual Careers With Animals Day.
With over 300 people coming through the doors, a great day was had by all. Leslie Heaton-Smith, Director at The College of Animal Welfare, commented ‘It was great to see so many people coming along to Careers With Animals Day last Saturday. Working with animals can be so rewarding and there are such a wide range of opportunities to choose from’.
He added ‘We were delighted to see, not only school children and parents come along, but people who were passionate about wanting to work with animals, looking to change career or get back into work with new skills. We are always available to help anyone interested in working with animals get the right advice’.
Careers with Animals Day is an annual event that has been running for over 20 years. This year’s exhibitors included Shepreth Wildlife Park who brought along a skunk, snake and a selection of invertebrates which the visitors enjoyed handling and learning about, and the National Trust who gave visitors the opportunity to discover some mysterious creatures under the microscope! Practical activities included dog grooming demonstrations in the College’s newly opened grooming suite.
Further details on next year’s event will be available shortly at www.careerswithanimals.co.uk.
