AKA MEMBERSHIP
AKA Membership is a focused community of aspiring keepers all moving in the same direction. From those looking at taking the first steps into the industry to university students actively applying for their first paid roll.
It's a safe space to ask questions, double check decisions and share progress...but also to build relationships with others entering the industry. The faces you see in this membership may be the same ones you see at future conferences, training days or in the staff room on your first day at your dream job!

Who's Behind
Animal Keeper Academy?
Animal Keeper Academy was created by us, Abbey (left) and Jenni (right), bringing together two very different but powerful perspectives.
Abbey brings real boots on the ground experience in the animal industry and my professional expertise in recruitment, business and marketing...including writing this.
Together, we created Animal Keeper Academy to bridge the gap between studying animal care and entering this competitive industry.
Our goal is simple; helping aspiring keepers land their first paid keeper role.
