ABC Dolphin Trainer Academy had the honor to do a workshop at this year’s 37th International Marine Animal Trainers’ Association (IMATA) annual conference in Atlanta, GA. The workshop was called Career Building and we had three experienced instructors who provided tips and insights regarding career options, how to build resumes and how to do successful interviews. The response from those who participated in this workshop has been overwhelming. It was a true joy to meet many of you after the workshop and I continue to receive emails from those of you interested in pursuing a career in marine mammal training and I am humbled by your enthusiasm, passion and determination.

Together we will continue to improve the quality of the animal’s lives living under our care. You are the industries future and indeed I see a promising future for you and the animals you will care for. For those of you fortunate enough to attend the IMATA conference the theme was Teamwork and we all walked away I think with a true sense of what that means for us each and every day in our schools, jobs, and family.

Keep up the good work, and hopefully we will see you at next years IMATA conference in Boston for Career Building 2, the ABC Dolphin Trainer Academy is committed to you and we work hard every day towards our mission: to promote careers in marine mammal training and provide students with skills and knowledge to elevate their careers.
