Careers in the Outdoors

Welcome to Careers in the Outdoors!

Overview 

During this program, you'll explore career paths in the outdoor industry ranging from hydrology, to starting an outdoor clothing company. In your research on the career paths, you will have access to interviews with a variety of professionals, activities to help you understand your personal interests, and questions to ask yourself that will help you start thinking about your own career path.

Goal

Wilderness Inquiry's goal of this program is to help increase awareness of outdoor jobs and help widen your perspective of the many different career paths the outdoor industry has to offer. 

Program Introduction 

Before independently diving into the career research and activities, let's recap the thirty minute introduction you had with Wilderness Inquiry outdoor leaders: 

• Outdoor leaders gave an overview of career possibilities in the outdoors, and there was a group discussion about the range of options and how they contribute to a more "sustainable world"

• You completed Your Personality and Green Jobs quiz, and learned how your personality fits into the realm of green jobs

• As a group, you gained insight into green jobs through career cards and investigating more in-depth overviews 

While you're completing your career research, feel free to always come back and utilize the personality quiz and the career overviews at any point!
