The Outward Bound Canada Training Academy for Outdoor Professionals

DEVELOPING THE NEXT GENERATION OF OUTDOOR LEADERS

We provide outdoor leadership training through immersive workshops, outdoor journeys, virtual learning, mentorship and certifications.

About the Training Academy

Launched in 2022, the Outward Bound Canada Training Academy for Outdoor Professionals delivers inclusive training across Canada through an innovative combination of centre-based workshops and outdoor journeys.

This program is designed to help participants develop social and emotional competencies and skills that are especially relevant in the Canadian outdoor job market which will serve them no matter where their career takes them.  

Inclusivity matters to us!

We strongly believe that the outdoor sector should be accessible, welcoming and diverse. By valuing and celebrating the complex and intersecting identities of our participants and staff, we are able to foster a community where everyone belongs. We encourage all folks to apply, especially those that are under-represented within the outdoor sector.
