Trail Skills Project

The Trail Skills Project serves as the workforce hub for the trails community providing connections to trails education, trail expertise, professional development, and job opportunities. The project goals are:

-Promote workforce development of current and future trail professionals
-Advance trails training opportunities and development
-Provide increased opportunities to connect trail volunteers, stewards, agency staff, and professionals
-Define a pathway to a career in trails and inspire the next generation of trail professionals
-Bolster the capacity of volunteers to meet stewardship needs

The Trail Competency Framework is the foundation for the Trail Skills Project; trail trainings, individual profiles, and some job descriptions are aligned with the trail competencies.
