Oregon State University has worked hard to develop strong corporate and industry relationships ensuring our training programs are highly responsive to sector-specific workforce needs.
We also have a proven track record of building custom and non-credit workforce trainings, from self-paced learning opportunities to online continuing education classes and more. We are uniquely positioned to work with industry partners to develop these types of trainings for the outdoor recreation economy.
"I think a big part of what we're talking about is creating or filling in the gaps in the outdoor industry workforce. The more that we can invest in programs …. that prepare people for careers in the outdoor industry the better the candidate pool is going to be, the more diverse the candidate pool is going to be, and it's going to be beneficial for companies you know no matter what they do.
