Outdoor Program Jobs The one universal prerequisite for environmental jobs is solid first aid training. HEART offers a good course but one that is not recognized outside Princeton. Most places are moving to Wilderness First Responder ( 64-hour course) as the minimum standard for outdoor instructors and environmental jobs. The 32-hour Wilderness First Aid Course that was taught over intercession may be acceptable to some organizations. Other skills include basic backpacking and minimal impact camping skills. Good leadership and group interaction skills are essential as well as the ability to work with different populations. Some places require specialized skills like rock climbing, canoeing, etc.
Environmental Jobs Environmental jobs do not always require leading groups in the wilderness. As the list of types of environmental jobs shows this can be almost anything. You should be able to push your environmental academic experience with writing, research skills, organizational and time management skills as well as your specific academic training that will help you land an environmental jobs. Computer literacy is also a big selling point these days. If you don't have much computer experience, take advantage of some of CIT's free training courses before you graduate.
Internships & Volunteer Positions Environmental job internships can provide you with both job experience and specific skill training, a chance to experiment with possible career options, and, in some cases, a lead to future employment. For example, the Student Conservation Association offers environmental jobs in the National Parks. You get room and board and a small stipend. A number of people have parlayed their experience and being a known entity into a regular job with that park in subsequent seasons. With NPS jobs being scarce, this is one important entry into that structure. landing your first environmental job can be difficult without an environmental job internship.
