I am very passionate about sustainable technologies and am interested in working in this field. I live in Southern California (North of San Diego, South of Los Angeles). If anyone knows of connections in this area, please share.

Hey everyone, I just graduated college and I need a little advice so I figured this would be a good place to look for some. This past semester I had an amazing learning experience in my adv. ecological design class with the John Todd. In this class, we broke down into groups and our semester long project for my group was to design an aquaculture business (system and business plan) that was sustainable and incorporated ecological design principles. Well, I stumbled upon the practice of aquaponics in no time. I learned a tremendous amount from reading Rebecca Nelson's Aquaponic Food Production book and looking through the forums on this site. I am so fascinated by this unique way of growing food. Now that I am out of school, I was wondering what I should do next. I would love to get actual hands-on experience working at a commercial aquaponics farm, but I definitely can't afford to pay for those internships that some of them offer. Does anyone know of a farmer looking for help where I won't have to pay to work? If not, what can I do next to move towards my ultimate goal of starting an aquaponics business? I am already working on a small system to play around with. Any suggested readings or whatnot? Your advice would be much appreciated! You can message me or send me an e-mail at tjmartin@uvm.edu .
Cheers,
Tyler

Gosh, it is exciting to think that Aquaponics is creating jobs! The intern at Friendly's sounds like an awesome experience. I wish I was a young college student again... I'd do it in a heartbeat. However, I'm 43, I have a husband and two kids on the autistic spectrum, and I'm not sure they'd share in my enthusiasm for the duration of a 6 mo. intern., and it'd be too much of a commute from IL, me thinks. But it sounds like an awesome experience, plus it's in Hawaii! Are there threads or blogs anywhere here of people who have worked there, where they share their experiences? I'd love to read about them.
Thanks for the quick reply Sylvia! I am located on Oahu and would prefer to stay here. I'd love to work with Olomana and plan on inquiring with them in the next few days. As far as Friendly, I basically read the entire website and was very impressed. The internship opportunity sounded ideal. However, after googling it, I came across multiple negative reviews of the experience. I know the internet can be an unreliable place so I'd like to get a contact number so I can decide for myself if it is something that it for me. Do you happen to have a contact for Friendly?
I haven't looked into Coastview very much. I believe it is also on the Big Island, in Kona.
Again, thank you so much for helping me out! This really is a wonderful site.

I am seeking a job, internship or volunteer work on an aquaponics farm on the island of Oahu. I am 24 years old, studied at UHM, in strong physical condition and eager to learn in hopes of running my own commercial aquaponics system in Hawaii.

I am looking for work in the Denver, Colorado metro area. Some of the services I provide include, but are not limited to, Aquaponic consulting, design, installation, greenhouse automation and online monitoring. I can build custom web or windows applications to enable real-time integration with the greenhouse lighting, misting, temperature control and watering systems. I have over 20 years engineering experience. I am also an experienced aquaculturist and horticulturist using aquaponic and hydroponic systems. These skills would enable me to see your vision and execute on time with quality in mind.
I hope someone out there has need of someone like myself :) I am looking forward to moving to Denver!
