The Outdoor Recreation Roundtable announced that it launched an Outdoor Workforce Hub.
Developed with support from the VF Foundation, the hub is part of ORR’s new website and features interactive tools to help employers and job seekers fill positions in the outdoor sector.
“ORR is grateful to the VF Foundation and all of our members and partners who helped make this fantastic new resource a reality,” ORR president Jessica Wahl Turner said in a statement. “From ensuring that the outdoor workforce is diverse and inclusive to identifying needs like access to affordable housing, creating training programs to fill skills gaps and combatting myths and stigmas about careers in the industry, ORR is proud to be leading the way and seeking collaborative solutions to our shared challenges.”
The Outdoor Workforce Hub includes a map of nearly 250 higher education, trade and training programs, a four-part outdoor workforce expert series, a career path module and links to other resources. The VF Foundation supports non-profit organizations in driving inclusive and equitable movements.
“We believe in the transformative power of nature and stand firmly committed to empowering the heartbeat that keeps outdoor recreational alive — its workforce,” Gloria Schoch, executive and senior director with the VF Foundation, said in the statement.
