WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
the breadth and depth of the issues
and trends (which is far beyond
the scope of this article), we know
enough to embrace such challenges
as unique opportunities to exert
influence for increasing and improving
our future workforces and
workplaces.
Industry Recruitment: How may
we better promote recreation and
parks as a career choice?
Local park and recreation agencies
can use their social media platforms
to demonstrate what it's like
to work in the field. They should
ensure their social media activities
direct users to appropriate outlets
to continue their exploration of a
related career. The Pennsylvania
Recreation and Park Society developed
a website portal with direct
links to all Pennsylvania university
departments that offer recreation
and park programs of study.
The Colorado Parks and RecAssociation
reation
produced
a
five-minute
video to introduce
highschoolers to the concept of
parks and recreation as a viable career
choice, featuring vignettes of
working professionals at their jobs
enthusiastically showing what they
do for a living. Such a promotion
could be shown at summer seasonal
orientations and trainings
throughout every state and locality.
In every state, the NRPA State
Association Affiliates can renew
their
relationships with each of
their state's educational institutions
to connect what they are teaching
in the classrooms to practical experience
in professional responsibilities.
Through their regions, districts
and member agencies, affiliates
can appeal to alumni and coordinate
in-classroom visits by working
practitioners.
Workforce Readiness: What are
emerging ways to recruit and
train students and those already
in the workforce?
The traditional models of higher
education are shifting as trends
in work, tech and student expectations
demand new curricula,
modes of instruction and funding
models. Specialized, virtual access
to certificate programs, such as
Denver University's Leadership in
the Outdoor Recreation Industry
Many jobs in the park and recreation
sector don't require higher education
degrees, but nonetheless, contribute
to the health and welfare of their
communities.
