High school juniors and seniors interested in a career in the great outdoors can apply for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources job shadow program until March 31.

ODNR will accept applications to shadow ODNR employees on the ODNR Job Shadow webpage. Students will be able to explore career opportunities in wildlife, parks, forestry and more. The job shadow program sheds light on a variety of career paths of which many people might not be aware.

During the job shadow day on May 2, students will gain an understanding of the job requirements and daily tasks. Those who apply will be able to choose the division or office they’d like to learn about, including law enforcement, engineering, forestry and more.
