Imisebenzi
Ochwepheshe bezilwane zeLab banomthwalo wokuhlinzekela ngokuyisisekelo izilwane zamathuluzi ezifana namagundane, amagundane, izilwane ezinwabuzelayo, izinja, nezimbongolo. Ngokuvamile lokhu kuhlanganisa imisebenzi eyisisekelo njengokuhlanzwa nokucwiliswa kwama-cages, ukuqapha ukuziphatha kwezilwane, ukuhlinzeka ukudla namanzi, nokugqugquzela ukukhiqizwa kwezilwane ekoloni uma kudingeka.
I-Techs nayo ingasiza ama- veterinarians nabacwaningi ngokusingatha izilwane zokuhlolwa nezinqubo uma kudingeka.
Umsebenzi ovamile wezobuchwepheshe bezilwane ukurekhoda ulwazi oluningi mayelana nesisindo sesilwane ngasinye, usayizi, ukudla nokuziphatha. Bangase bahileleke ekugcineni amarekhodi egciniwe, ukuqoqa noma ukuhlaziya idatha, ukuthatha amasampuli, ukuhlanganisa imiphumela, ukugcina impahla nokuhlanza, ukuthatha ukwaziswa kwempahla, imibiko yokubhala, ukudala amashejuli omsebenzi wesisebenzi, nokuqondisa abaphathi bezilwane ezingeni lokungena.
I-Lab yezobuchwepheshe bezilwane kufanele iqinisekise ukuthi indawo yabo ihambisana nazo zonke izinkombandlela zezenhlalakahle nezindlalelo ezibekwa yi-Animal Welfare Act, i-Institutional Animal Care kanye namakomidi okusebenzisa (i-IACUC), kanye noMhlahlandlela kaZwelonke wezeMpilo mayelana nokusetshenziswa nokunakekelwa kwezilwane ze-laboratory . Izikhungo zihambisana nokuhlolwa ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izimo ezifanele zigcinwa.
Izinketho zemisebenzi
I-Lab yezobuchwepheshe bezilwane zingathola umsebenzi ezinhlobonhlobo zezindlela zokwelapha, kuzo zombili izinkampani ezizimele nezomphakathi. Izikhundla zezobuchwepheshe ze-Lab zitholakala emakhokheni, amanyuvesi, izikole zezilwane noma zezokwelapha, ama-ejensi kahulumeni, amashabhu ezempi, izinkampani zocwaningo ezizimele, izinkampani ze-biotechnology, izinkampani zokwelapha , nezinye izinhlangano eziphathelene nophando.
Ochwepheshe bezilwane zeLabhu bangaphinde baqhubekele ekwenzeni ukuphathwa kwesikhungo sabo sokucwaninga uma sebethole ulwazi oludingekayo nesitifiketi. I-American Association ye-Laboratory Animal Science inikeza uhlelo lokuqinisekisa isitifiketi se-Certified Manager Animal Resources (CMAR) kulabo abafuna ukuthola izikhundla zokuphatha ebhokisatri yabo.
Imfundo Nokuqeqesha
Idiploma yesikole esiphakeme ngokuvamile iyimfuneko encane yemfundo yokuba isazi sezilwane zelabhu, kodwa abaningi ensimini babamba i-Bachelor noma i-Associate degree kwisayensi yezilwane , i-biology, noma indawo ehlobene nayo. Amadigri kulezi zindawo ngokuvamile ahlanganisa izifundo zezilwane zesayensi , i-genetics, i-anatomy, i-physiology, umsoco, i-biology, i-chemistry, izibalo, nokuxhumana.
I-Lab yezobuchwepheshe bezilwane kungenzeka ukuthi ithole isipiliyoni ngaphambi kokusebenza ngokusebenza njengomchwepheshe wezilwane noma umsizi wezilwane. I-Vet techs inethuba lokuthuthukisa amakhono ethuthukile ngokuphatha izinhlobo ezihlukahlukene zezilwane, ukuphatha imithi, nokusebenzisa amadivaysi ezempilo. I-Lab yezobuchwepheshe bezilwane kungenzeka futhi yazuza isipiliyoni esiwusizo ngenkathi kuqhutshwa izifundo zabo zasekolishi, njengoba izinhlelo eziningi zesayensi yekholeji zigxila kakhulu ezingxenyeni zobuningi zamakilasi amakhulu.
I-American Association ye-Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS) inikeza izindlela ezintathu zokuqinisekiswa: I-Assistant Laboratory Animal Technician (ALAT), i-Laboratory Animal Technician (LAT), ne-Laboratory Animal Technologist (LAT). Labo abafuna isitifiketi kumele bahlangabezane nezimfuneko ezingaphansi kwezemfundo nezomsebenzi ngaphambi kokuba bafanelekile ukuthatha ukuhlolwa.
Uma isiqinisekisiwe yi-AALAS, ama-techs wezilwane zelabhu kumele agcwalise amahora aqhubekayo emfundo (CEU) ukuze alondoloze isimo sabo sesitifiketi. Le mfuneko yezemfundo iqinisekisa ukuthi ama-technic lab wezilwane eziqinisekisiwe anolwazi olukhona kakhulu mayelana namasu abasafufusa emkhakheni wezesayensi yezilwane zesayensi. I-CEU credit hours ingatholakala ngokuya ezifundweni, ukuhlanganyela ekuqeqesheni izifundo, nokuqeda ama-workshops.
Umholo
Ngokwezibalo ezihlangene nama-AALAS ngo-2010, ochwepheshe bezilwane eziqinisekisiwe zezinga lesi-II (idiploma yesikole esiphakeme) bathola umholo owedlula u-$ 35,606, kanti umholo ovela okungenani u-$ 29,286 kuya ku-$ 44,810.
Ochwepheshe bezilwane eziqinisekisiwe zeNqanaba III (Bachelors noma i-Associates degree degree) bakhetha umholo olinganiselwa ku-$ 44,297, kanti inkokhelo isukela kumadola angama-34,662 kuya ku-$ 53,415.
Ucwaningo lwe-AALAS lwango-2010 luveze nokuthi abahlinzeki bezilwane ezingabhalisiwe abaqeqeshiwe babathola isamba esiyingqayizivele se-$ 32,336, kanye nesamba esivela esilinganisweni esingu-$ 27,173 ukuya ku-$ 39,068.
Njengoba isitifiketi sithuthukisa kokubili amaholo kanye namathuba emisebenzi wezobuchwepheshe bezilwane, kunconywa kakhulu ngabachwepheshe embonini.
I-Outlook Outlook
Ngokusho kwe- Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), amathemba omsebenzi kulabo abasemkhakheni wezobuchwepheshe bezilwane (okuyi-tech lab yezilwane ezithathwa njengeyingxenye yokubika ukubika) kuzokwanda ngamaphesenti angu-19 kusukela ngo-2014 kuya ku-2024. izinga lokukhula okusheshayo kunesilinganiso sabo bonke abasebenza.
Ngokukhula okusheshayo kwembonini ye-biotechnology, isidingo sabasebenzi bezilwane zetabilongwane kulindeleke ukuba sibe namandla esikhathini esizayo esizayo. Ubuchwepheshe bezilwane zeLab lunikeza indlela eqondile yokusebenzela labo abazimisele futhi abakwazi ukusebenza nezilwane ezigcinwe endaweni yokucwaninga.
