There many jobs beside the ones people see, like rangers and maintenance.  There are needs for computer and information technology experts, accountants, architects, engineers and other skills. Through this program, you will get experience in a few of the areas of park operation; researching history, developing a display, natural resource research, policy, and leadership.
