Choosing an Apprenticeship in Animal Care

Sorcha chose her apprenticeship in order to expand her knowledge on wild animals and to give her the chance to follow her passion. As part of her apprenticeship, Sorcha checks on and feeds the animals, assists with medical treatments and shadows senior keepers.
