Part-time work experience
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is a multi-faceted Agency with a broad mission area that includes protecting and promoting U.S. agricultural health, administering the
Animal Welfare Act, and carrying out wildlife damage management activities. These efforts support the overall mission of USDA, which is to protect and promote food, agriculture, natural resources and related issues. Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) is a program within APHIS which safeguards U.S. agriculture and natural resources against the entry, establishment, and spread of economically and environmentally significant pests, and facilitates the safe trade of agricultural products. PPQ is currently reacting to an outbreak of the Spotted Lanternfly in Pennsylvania, as well as responding to European Cherry Fruit Fly detections in New York State.
The positions available are for a limited-term (up to 180 days), and include full-time, part-time, and seasonal work. The positions are great for students looking for job experience (especially over the summer), recent graduates, and anyone that might be interested in learning more about APHIS.
