Career Options in the Outdoors
With the impact of COVID-19, we have seen the effects of what can happen when opportunities to spend time outside are missing.
Leaders in the Outdoor Industry are having more and more conversations with people about the benefits of activities in outdoor recreation, outdoor education, outdoor health and therapy, and adventure tourism that have been not understood until now.
What this industry provides is more than a school camp or a guided bush walk. We have opportunities to make our communities better through exercise, building skills for life, and environmental appreciation. And perhaps the most important opportunity is the benefit to mental health when out in the outdoors.
This is an industry that will be one of the first to rebound from lockdown, and will have opportunities for employment from end to end. Have you considered the Outdoors as a career choice? Maybe it’s time!
