Outdoor Recreation Roundtable (ORR) launched a new public service announcement (PSA) video promoting careers in the outdoor recreation industry.
The video is part of an ongoing ORR effort to support employers, educators, those interested in joining the $862 billion outdoor recreation industry, and the 4.5 million outdoor professionals looking to expand their careers in the sector.
Jessica Wahl Turner, ORR president said: “ORR, in partnership with our members and other leaders in the outdoor industry, has been hard at work over the last year identifying the greatest challenges facing the outdoor workforce. Time and again, we have heard that folks just are not aware of the diversity of career opportunities available to them or what education and training is needed.”
In addition to the video, which is available online, ORR is expanding the Outdoor Workforce Hub on its recently debuted website.
Wahl Turner said: “From advanced manufacturing and environmental science to trail building and sustainability, there is a place in this industry for everyone. For passionate outdoor enthusiasts, these jobs are an opportunity to not only combine business and pleasure, but to play a role in supporting a sector dedicated to a stronger and healthier future for all Americans.”
