Outdoor Careers Advice
As well as publishing the key title Guide to a Career in Outdoor Learning, IOL also has guidance and information on careers in the outdoors.
Outdoor careers can encompass such jobs as instructor, teacher, countryside ranger, youth leader, sports coach, development trainer or facility manager. You could be working in central Birmingham or the Outer Hebrides; with senior managers or disadvantaged youth; on your own or as part of a large team. The training available is equally diverse partly because of the range of career paths available and partly because of the range of skills you need to be competent at the job. This is a brief guide to the options open to you, whether you are a school leaver or an experienced practitioner.
Within the field there are opportunities for 'apprenticeship' roles suited to inexperienced enthusiasts and long term career options for those wishing to make it their profession. Some people spend a few years giving service to a job they enjoy before moving into another field. Others come to the field bringing with them a wealth of experience from another career. The choices are yours.
