About the outdoor industries
This is another industry that is changing rapidly. The outdoor industries encompass four broad areas – outdoor recreation; outdoor sports; outdoor education; outdoor therapies (or adventure therapies). The industry currently faces a number of challenges, not least of which is finding suitably qualified staff that have both technical (hard) skills and facilitation and communication (soft) skills. Skills Hub is currently working with the outdoor industries to define job roles and career paths within the industry.
