Student- Office Of Wildlife

Program Overview

LDWF supports a strong work ethic in its employees and incorporates the use of good science, accurate information, and technology. The Office of Wildlife exists to provide wise stewardship of Louisiana's wildlife and associated habitats and increase wildlife conservation awareness.

The purpose of the LDWF Student Employment program is to employ students at the graduate and undergraduate levels, in fields of study that will be beneficial to LDWF while providing the student with challenging work experience. Students can work up to 20 hours per week and are not required to pursue a curriculum directly related to the office in which they will be working.

Students must be currently enrolled full‑time in an accredited educational institution at the undergraduate or graduate level and must maintain enrollment at the university while employed at LDWF.

Verification of enrollment from the university will be required upon hire. Students do not need to be registered during the summer sessions in order to be qualified for student status. However, if graduating in the spring semester, proof of enrollment for the fall semester must be received in order to continue employment under the student employment program.
